Need some help on 2002 K2 Zed Team frame

[bigs]

I just purchased a 2002 Zed Team frame but I don't know the headset that I need to buy or use.  I don't know also the size of the front derailleur.  I'm thinking of using the headset and front derailleur form my 2001 Giant NRS3.  Please help me lighten up this problem.  Thanks.

I don't know if it helps much, it looks like it's got
1 1/8 integrated headset

And as for front Derailleur I would guess it's 1 1/4 (31.8) , this is the size of my EVO 4.0 Frame.
(There is 2 other sizes: small 1 1/8 (28.6) - Is Usualy used on Cro-Mol Frames(because of the steel properties, you can make smaller diameter tubes with same strengh as bigger ALU tubes) the bigger 3/8 (34.9) is used on oversized Alu frames, or on Magnesium frames)

Also if your cable routers is on the bottom of your Bottom Bracket, it's a bottom pull, But because it's a hardtail my guees would be your bike is top pull, just check where is your cables go.

I hope it will help,

Good luck with new frame,
post pictures when you finish building it.

Your Bike looks great ,what kind of fork is that?

can't wait until i'm finish mine(i'm kind of low on cash now), all i need  is fork and stem.

The overall weight is 23.8 punds. The fork is the 2002 Duke SL (80 mm).  This is the only 2nd fork I've tried aside from the Judy XC that came with my NRS.  The Duke is very stiff and pretty light too.
