I recently bought a bike frame to build up as something to do and I'm a bit stuck with how to fit the forks to the frame, the frame has no bearings or headset or anything, can someone tell me the parts i need to do it thanks,
the frame is a haro xeon with a 1 1/8 head tube
Thanks

    Headset to site the frame, forks, spacers and a stem.....have a look on parktools website.

    read the info on Parktools on headsets. then measure your frame to work out what you need.
    "Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
