Headset recommendation for Litespeed Tsali?

Hi all, I haven't visited here for some years, glad to see the forum is still here. I'm planning to put the default titanium stem that came with my Litespeed Tsali back on the bike. The current headset is incompatible so I need to buy a new one, can anyone point me in the right direction?

It looks like I need a 1 1/8" size checking the Tsali Wiki 2001 Litespeed Tsali (01) - BikePedia.

I had a look on Wiggle but it was a bit overwhelming. I'll go up to £50 if necessary but I'm planning on ultimately selling the bike so if people think a cheaper one is fine then that would be better. The bike is only used for commuting and is never used off road.

Thanks everyone.

Basic long lasting good quality, FSA Orbit MX, can be picked up for well under £20 (this would work fine), higher up, Cane Creek 40, can be found for £40 or less, if you want Hope, Chris King or another high end brand, these will have to be 2nd hand, as they will be over you budget new, although as you need an EC 1 1/8th, they are common on the 2nd hand market as new bikes are all IS or more commonly ZS cups.

I your underwhelmed by the selection on Wiggle, triple your budget and get a new Chris King, Wiggle have as good a selection as anyone.

Okay thanks that's a great price range. If I'd bought the bike recently I'd consider high end but as I'm planning on going back to a road bike eventually I'll settle for the Cane Creek 40 or FSA Orbit MX. Chances are someone buying the bike would want to choose their own components and buy the bike for the titanium parts. Exactly what I wanted to know.
