Its tapered but the picture looks like the top and bottom cups are not integrated. I have been checking out Hope's website and can't figure which I should get. Any owners out there to advise? The fork steerer is 1 1/8.

You will need a external tapered headset, Hope do mix and match on their headsets, best option is the Chris king external tapered headset which is about £110 from winstanleys I think.
Thanks Ruscle.
No worries, if you go for the CK headset make sure its the griplock one, if Hope I would phone them to make sure you get the correct one's
Apparently Hope do two bottom cups that will fit. I've just ordered an ASR5a with a Hope headset and the shop asked if I wanted an integrated or external cup for the bottom bit. I guess this has a bit of a bearing* on the head angle.
