integrated headset

Has anyone built up a bike where an integrated headset is required. Just
got my AC2 frame, and my brand new FSA Pig headset wont fit. So what
integrated headsets are available. I have seen a Cane Creek one, but thats
about it.

Thanks

I believe it's call an internal headset. It's not considered integrated
although it does say so on the specs about the AC's. I have the AC1 and my
Lbs owner has corrected me on this matter. Now thats what he has told me. So
correct me if I'm wrong. As far as integrated headsets go, Kris King also
has one. They also have a nice write up on the integrated headset. Be
warned. It's not gonna make you happy.

Ditto, I think it's an internal headset for the AC2. Any my Jamis has an
intergrated cane creek headset. Absolutely no problems with it so far.

Is it actually integrated or internal? Giant has called their internal
headsets "integrated" in the past. They use an internal bearing cup where
as a true integrated headset uses no bearing cup.

The frame showing the "internal" is a Giant.

FSA makes an internal headset.

It is internal, not integrated. I changed my cups out when I got my AC1.

flange is flush with the rest of the steerer tube, so it's probably a
little harder to remove with a conventional cup removal tool. I would

This is the one I used on mine with no problems:
