It's a 1 1/4" headset. Had a few drama's and blonde moments with this but a Chris King Devolution headset sorted it in the end. The devolution lets you use 1 1/8" forks in a 1 1/4" head tube.

Christ I miss not owning an alpinestars. Loved this bike, it had tons of character and rode pretty well too. Maybe do another one in the future.
