Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

138mm headtube.
165mm steerer tube (threaded, measured with the straightedge at the bottom of the tube, right up against where the bearing race would touch the crown).

Will a Gripnut headset help me, or do I need to go with a different fork?

Damn. I knew people used them for forks that were too short, but I didn't know exactly how short. I couldn't find any specs on their stack height. Thanks all the same.
