  No, it is 1"1/8 - 1" 1/2

  Had to ask specifically for that headtube in order to be able to use it

  Hello guys,

  Here you have some pics of my Bike Mielec project. I still have to cut a bit of the cable of the front brake but I think it has ended in a pretty decent bike :)

  Cheers!

  shouldne you wait on the headset tlii the frame is deleviered? as long as its tapered your fork should be fine.

  Yes, normally I wait to get the headset but I got it for free :) So I can't complain about it. It is a pity that it won't work.

  yea sure it works. Not sure if chris king has headset like that but hope pick n mix has both of those quite likely.

  I have googled a little bit and apparently there are many models of Chris King headsets available. I will go for one of them

  Thank you all!!!

  Hello guys,

  It's been 3 months already since I ordered to Robert my frame and I am still waiting for it due to certain misunderstandings with the concept of tapered semi-integrated headtube and the fact that he uses google translator. Sometimes is kind of difficult to understand him with specific terms but finally I think he got the message.

  The fact is that I want to use a tapered fork with the dimensions I attach you and I already had a headset that apparently doesn't fit in the tubes that Robert uses.

  He has told me today that he could build the frame with a headtube with upper 44mm(1 1/8'') and Lower 49mm (1 1/2'') measures.

  I know my question is kind of stupid, but will it work with my fork? I've seen that there are 02938402938423 kind of standards in the measures of tapered headsets and I have found a bunch of them that fit in my budget but I am not used to this concepts and I don't want a frame that doesn't fit in the fork that I already have.

  Thank you in advance for your help guys!

  Thank you both! I checked transmission database in advance and didn't found anything related to a related to this specific frame, nor to Mielec ones (one post without answer)

  I've read in the webpage of FSA and it recommends the 110.5 mm bottom bracket. I guess I will wait to have everything together and then decide what cog am I going to use (my city in Spain have several uphills and this fact is kind of tricky to use the bike in fixed gear mode)

  Thank you! :)

  Thank you butchers dog!!! I meant the spindle length. I've read many stuff about it but I am in a mess.

  The crankset I bought is the FSA Gimondi (you can see it in this link) http://www.velosolo.co.uk/gimondi.html

  And I think the spindle lenght for a triple triangle frame in L size should be 107mm

  But not sure at all!!

  Thank you for your help. I owe some beers here already :)

  Do you know the specs of the bottom bracket that I need to buy? I ordered the frame but I forgot to ask that to Robert!
