bit of a stupid question and i think I know the answer but i'll ask any way!
I'm looking at buying a dolan frame that has an internal headset, can I use my regular forks of do I have to get new ones?
thanks

    As long as they are the right size for the headtube they'll be fine. (I guess the new frame will be 1 1/8 - the old one must be too)

    You'll need to change the crown race over though.

    The only other potential gotcha is that your steerer tube might be too short if the new frame has a significantly longer head tube than the old one.
