I can’t figure out the bleedin headset for my new road bike!

I have this little number here http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/frames-frames-road-ribble-7005-horizontal-road-frame/ribbfrar245

and can only seem to see that a http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/headsets-headsets-campagnolo-record-headset/camphstr500 or a http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/headsets-headsets-ribble-headset-branded-ribble-1-1-8-hidden-its-45-x-45/ribbhstr200000000000 are avaliable options when buying the frame off Ribble.

The frame took an age to turn up so I was hoping to order a headset from Chain Reaction instead as I'm used to them, would anyone have a clue if this thing would fit!?

or even this one http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39378

Totally lost with all the sizing!

Ha! I thought the same! Been wanting a road bike for a while and as I have no interest in racing anyone or shaving my legs this one's perfect.

Got carbon forks for £75 too!
