I need help with a headset.
Ive aquired a British? frame to build a singlespeed.
I have stripped down the threaded integral / internal ? headset, and want to fit some sealed bearing if possible.
Not sure what to get that will fit the bearing seats in the steering tube.

That is just a standard external headset, and the "seats" are pressed-in bearing cups. The simplest solution is to buy loose ball bearings to rebuild it.

No real standard, but the most common size is 5/32".
