I bought two Double Roller Drive headsets from Universal Cycles last week. Took five minutes, no muss, no fuss. They arrived in 3 days.
These have needle bearings both top and bottom, but that’s a plus for my application (low trail) where friction is desired. Unless you really want the ball bearing upper, this is an easy answer. As for why the mixed bearing roller drive is hard to find: Dunno. My best guess is that not many companies stock it because not many people care.
