Sunday I went to BLB and shop 14 but no luck. The lads in shop 14 were very helpful though even though I didn't buy anything. They seemed confident that the integrated headset by Fly Bikes would work so I might look into that. There is no info on their site regarding sizes and angles so I don't know. I finally got a response from the Chance manufacturers. They said that the part they used (don't know if it was used on my sample frame though) is a cane creek compatible headset VP-A46ACK:

I can't find anyone supplying this in the UK cos I think it is used by brands as a cheap version of the cane creeks. Does anyone know what cane creek headset is the same?
Can someone look at the specs for this headset and let me know which pro lite one has the same specs. I'm thinking that the second one down on here will work (as suggested above by Rosmal):

The diameter of the VP one is 28.6/41/30 and the pro-lite is 30.2/41. Assuming they have the same angles (45/36 i think cane creek is)..is there not much difference in these? I prefer the sound of the pro-lite ones.
Does the VP one have the same specs as this:

Sorry about the questions and that but it's really pissing me off now! Any help would be well good. Cheers
