Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Headset woes

So I just got myself a 2010 Cannondale Six Carbon 3 frameset, and it just occurred to me that I have no idea what headset it takes. I have no experience with integrated headsets or even semi-integrated headsets for that matter. Both of my currently running bikes are steel and use regular old traditional headsets. I found the "headset fit finder" on the canecreek website last night, but when it started asking for all these measurements, I abandoned it. So before I go attempt to take the necessary measurements, does anybody know what kind of headset my frame takes? Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with the C-dale headset specs...but a quick call to any Cannondale dealer would quickly answer your question. Probably faster than continuously refreshing your page waiting for an answer here.

Drat, i was hoping not to have to call.

Thanks, the only thing about this frame I can't completely get behind is that bb30 bottom bracket, I'm currently researching different solutions for using a standard threaded bb.
