However, it's also the case that no one really seems to know the specifics here: We know the headtubes and steerer tubes will be sized a certain way, but whether or not the forks are drilled is a different question altogether.

The website (which is no longer up) clearly stated 1" threaded, or 1 1/8" threadless. There is no question here.

To continue on the trend of dumb questions---I am doing some window shopping for a headset. I got the 1 1/8 threadless----do I need an "integrated" headset? What the hell is the diff. between an "integrated" headset and a nonintegrated one?

an integrated headset does not use cups. the bearings go right into the frame.

you can NOT use an integrated headset with this frame.

you can't always tell by eye. but it should be in the specs for any frame. if it's not specified, it's probably not integrated.

Nobody got their frame yet; they're just ****ing around.

so there's a chance that the frame i ordered for my wife might not be wanted because she recently fell in love with this:

so, anyone possibly interested in:

50cm
threadless
blue

i figure there were some people that couldn't get in on this so i'd offer it on here first before trying to flip it out to the unknown world.
