Sounds like an internal headset instead of an intergrated headset, I had a GT in the past with one of these. Sold before I needed a new headset.
NS BMX seems to have adopted the term internal for there headsets, Which is were the confusion lies. I think. :laugh:

Greg did you get it from Del, if so it was my old one.

They use what is called as semi integrated headset.

Loads on ebay for around £20 just make sure it has an Internal head tube diameter: ø 44.0mm

2 types of semi integrated Greg, 44mm cup or 41.4mm, Knock em out and measure the o/diameter of the cup before you buy one bud
