What kind of headset for this frame?
The Nashbar Nekkid SS frame. I'm building a single speed bike for a friend and can't tell if this frame uses a non-integrated headset or not.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks!

Not 100% absolutely sure, but pretty damm close to it, that it takes a standard 1-1/8" (non-integrated) headset. I base it on what I can see in the photo, and that the spec is for a 1-1/8" headset and doesn't say integrated which it would (or should) if it were.

Looks like you need a standard 1-1/8" headset. But if you look at the head tube is it just a straight tube on the inside?
