New frame just arrived, how do i find out which headset will fit? The FSA one i had hoped to use won't fit, which one will?

What's the frame - I assume you can just look it up on the internet. The two common standards are Campagnolo and IS.

Kinesis racelight TK2

It says 1 1/8" 36/45,

So does that mean something like this will work...

Definitely not - that's not an integrated headset. You need something like this:

I really think it's gonna be a matter of just go to joe dalys.

Will need a new h/set, seatpost, FD.

Thanks for the help. I still don't understand integrated headsets, even after reading that thread from a few months ago...

integrated - bearings sit in the headtube
semi-integrated - bearing sit in a cup which is flush with the headtube
standard - bearings sit in a cup above the headtube.

or something.
