Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need help with picking out a head set

So I recently bought this frame https://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-Scott-S...item5890445b15 for $125 off ebay and I am going to b building it up but not sure what head set to get. https://www.scott-sports.com/us_en/pr...2/55737/218122 this is the link to the fully built up bike and I really like the way this head set and stem look. I just see there are so many different options out there for headsets and I have no idea where to begin. I notice some bikes have headsets that have a big nob looking head set that comes up above the stem and I think it looks terrible. If anyone could point me in the direction of what headset or spacers I need to get to make the build look like the original scott s50 I would be truly grateful

It's an integrated headset. You'll need to measure the inside to find which size you will need.

it looks as if the oem headset is included according to the ebay pics, you just need some white spacers
