  1. I just purchased a Look KG281 frame and fork and will be building it up in the next two weeks or so. I have some questions regarding some parts that should be ordered for the frameset.

    1. I would like to order a complete build kit minus the wheels because I already have a set of Ksyrium SSC's to put on it. I am not sure which headset to order. Are there different sizes? I know the 281 has a 1 inch fork so does the headset need to have a 1 inch diameter?

    2. What would be a good seat post to order? The frame takes a 25.0 seat post size. Would an aluminum post be okay or should I go ahead and get a carbon post? I have seen some aluminum posts weighing around 200 grams.

    3. It appears that the front derailleur should be a 1 1/8 clamp. Does that sound right for this frame?

    Sorry for all of the questions. This is the first time for me to build up a bike and I am excited and anxious to get it complete. Here is a picture of the frame and fork that I bought:
