hello,
i recently bought a used ParkPre Image Road frame (http://www.parkpreusa.com/framesets/imager.htm) and an Reynolds Ouzo Pro integrated fork. I don't know much about the frame and I can't find much info on it either. I took some measurement and pictures which i thought might help whoever tries to help me out. The headtube seems to have built in support for the headset's cups. also, the top and bottom big inner diameter are about 3.9cm and the smallest inner diameter is about 3.2cm.
I was looking to purchase a drop-in headset or something with minimal stacking and requiring few installation tools. My LBS quoted me $60 for the install and spacer which seemed exuberant.
Are there any such headsets that dont require a headset press to install? Also, any advantages/disadvantages in these type of headsets?
Also, the fork has an integrated crown race; will I have to remove it and replace it when i install the headset or is there anyway around it? I really dont want to remove the crown race since I would be dealing with carbon.
All help is much appreciated,
Thanks
