U need to measure the headset "hole" to know if it takes a iso or a jis threaded headset.
1 1/8 headsets and forks came up to the market maybe like 5 to 10 years after that bike went out of production. Bikes aren't mekanos my friend, just do your home work better and use a lot of common sense. Like for example why did u get a 1 1/8 headset and fork when clearly using a caliper or a measuring tape the hole diameter of the headset area is 1 inch? Rule #1, to measure the stuff before buying.
Good luck

Stupidity? I obviously wasn't thinking...Just finished checking out the Park Tool site, and it appears that this frame is 1'' JIS,(the bearing chase is 30mm),which in hindsight seems to makes sense, as I'm thinking this frame was made for Schwinn in Japan. FWIW, I'm not out to deprive my LBS out of business, just wanted to attempt to make a bike up from scratch on my own. And yes, MEASURE 2x, BUY once.......
