Was That the blue one?
Top is 44mm bottom would be 49.6mm head tube diameters.
Cane Creek or Hope be good for which headset to use.
Lower headset would be external for tapered.

It was indeed mate , an impulse buy. Thanks for the info. So the bottom is external and the top semi integrated ?

lower only needs to be external if you have a tapered steerer otherwise for a straight 1.125 steerer you can use a semi integrated lower too.

Saw it's relisted. Anything we should know? Had half an eye on it myself before.

Its been relisted as he didn't mention in the ad that the iscg tabs were broken off. I guess I should of zoomed in on the picture but as the description states minor wear and tear I didn't expect it. He refunded me quickly but not without a little bit of verbal .I guess for the money it wasn't bad but I don't like damage and I would of put a h/s on it.
