requesting help/info on integrated-internal headsets.......
I'm noodling around with a Craigslist project that's gone a little sideways, so I just ordered this Marin hybrid frame from Random Bike Parts (I'm digging that operation!), and I believe I can use the headset from the bike I'm switching parts from, but I'm not sure.
Bothe bikes have 1 1/8" steerer tubes, and use integrated/internal headsets. The headset in the bike I have is from FSA, and that's about all i know.
The ad for the frame I have coming, says it needs this : Upper/Lower: 44mm I.D. Headtube, Semi-Integrated Internal style, 1-1/8"
In case my FSA isn't compatible, I'm currently looking at a economical Ritchie Comp, like this here........

Is my FSA likely to work ok, or will this ^ Ritchie do the trick, or can you make other (economical) suggestions ?
So, what do I need to know here? Any good info, or points in the right direction, are much appreciated...
