Do I need a new headset? The old one I took off the frame is I guess the original one, and came out pretty easily (the pressed bits that is - fork crown race still in situ!)
I was thinking of getting either this...

or this...

Can I put a 105 onto a MTB frame? It's 1" which I need, or do I have to go with the STX version, which I have experience of?
These look an improvement on the bearing retainer style headset that came off it?
Thoughts?
