The fork originally used a Ritchey Logic zero stack headset. So far I just stuck the bearings on the integrated part of the fork and stuck it up into the cup pressed into the frame. I then assembled the top part normally. Do I need to somehow remove the cups from the Modus headset and start over with a new Ritchey Logic zero stack that the fork was designed to work with or can I just use this cheap solution which seems to work but perhaps is a bad idea? Also is there anyway to use an integrated fork with a nonintegrated headset? (I want to find whoever invented the integrated headset and %^&$##) What is the cheapest integrated headset? I want the cheapest possible solution to this problem as this project bike is waay over budget. (Just to clarify right now all I have is the integrated fork with the ball bearings on it stuck up in the cups that are pressed into the frame - this doesn't seem like it will be good.) Anyone know how to remove pressed in cups? If I have to buy a new headset than this whole project is ruined cause it costs way too much and I ended up losing a ton of money.

Let me know what you guys think and thanks for any advice
