I may have phrased the thread name wrong- if so sorry. I'm quite new to the workings of a bike so I do not really know so much. A few weeks back I purchased a frame not knowing too many details of it(none were provided and the seller didn't answer the questions). So I received the frame hoping to build it up- but lacked some info. I didn't know what size fork/headset it required! Of course I did as much research and measuring as I could with the supplies I had(basically a ruler). At first I thought the frame took a 1 1/8" fork because the diameter of the opening was 1 3/16"(or so) but thought, "damn that would make a REALLY tight fit for the fork even without the headset in there!". Did a bit more researching and my measurements seemed to match up with a 1" headset/fork- can anyone confirm/deny this thought?
