Hi all,

I would normally contact Sonder/Alpkit direct with this but don't want to hassle them with a simple question in the current situation. I'm sure one of the great & good here would know the answer, so....

Do Sonder frame & fork sets (I'm specifically thinking the Frontier F&F here) come with a headset fitted or would that be up to me to source & fit? Not got a problem with that and quite capable of doing it, just wanted to check as I can't see anything on their site.

Thanks, thought that would be the case.

Still not certain if I'm going for it to be honest, although it's looking more likely the more I think about it.

Now then.... What headset for a Sonder?

😉

It's the Frontier I'm looking at. TBH I wasn't expecting a response to that one but thanks. 🙂

I see it comes built with an FSA Orbit C-40-ACB Headset and I've got the spec sheet for that so could work out what other options were available but if you've any recommendations I'm always open to suggestions.

I've just built up a Camino with a Nukeproof headset that seems very nice for the money.

I'm after a Camino frames when they come back in stock. On the Camino page there's a section in 'frame spec' which lists the headset (Headset: IS42/28.6 | IS52/40). So it looks like an oversight on the Frontier page.

They have been answering emails fairly quickly.

Cheers folks, once I've decided which size I need (sods law being what it is I'm right between Medium & large!) I'll drop them a line when I order.

Thanks for your help.
