I bought myself a £20 Trek 4300 for cycling around the RAF camp I work on, it's in good Mick apart from the headset which clearly needs new bearings.

I'm I being thick or is it missing a bottom bearing?

Certainly looks like there are no bearings in the bottom. The race looks like there should be loose ones in there. Considering how crusty it looks I'd maybe just buy a cheap new headset and whack that on. OK, it's 50% of the price of the bike but you can get perfectly decent Chinese cheapies on ebay for a tenner.
