As for the headset, what size is it?
i dont know what size the headset oughta be. i picked the frame/fork up on ebay, so i dont have an existing headset for the bike. i _thought_ it was 1" threaded, but headsets of that sort do not fit. i'm thinking there's either a problem with the headtube or the fork somewhere, but my roomie insists it's just some sort of wierd japanese sizing.
i'm bout to throw my hands up in despair, and drop it off at via bikes in philly, and let them sort it out.
thanks for the info re: the 700c's, everyone.
