Choosing the right headset.

[GIOS]

Steel is real but I thought I'd give carbon a go. I bought a relatively cheap fm001 frame from eHongfu because it is very likely that I don't like the feel of carbon and will go for titanium instead. I also bought a Campagnolo Centaur Red gruppo and a 3T Funda Fork. I need a 1 1/8 headset but don't know which one to choose as there are various headsets with different labels on them like hidden, threadless, 45/36, 45/45 etc. Would this for example fit my frame?

Thanks in advance.

Nice looking frame. Di you have it yet? What's the build quality like?

Sorry I cannot help with the headset. It's a black art

Just received the frame via EMS. Build quality is quite nice. Some imperfections in the weave thou'. If I decide to stick with carbon I'll probably sell this frame and buy a Colnago/De Rosa frame.

Their 2013 road frame's getting positive feedback. What sort of prices are we talking? If it's not too rude to ask

Of course not fm001 was about 300$ whereas a proper Italian road frame would cost you somewhat ten times that.

£200 if you change it to pounds at the top. Seems reasonable price for a budget carbon. Their forks look well weird though!

No clue on headset though, sorry.
