Headset needed 97 beast

Anyone have one or know what headset a 97 beast of the East uses?

Pretty sure any conventional external cup threadless headset will work. Believe the '97 fork had a 1 1/8" steer tube. Assume that you have the fork and can verify.

I don’t have a fork yet… bought it as a frame and doing a build up. Don’t a bunch in my day but I can honestly say, I’ve never installed or removed a headset in my life lol

Measure the ID of the head tube. If it takes a 1 1/8" headset it will be just under 34 mm. If it takes 1 1/4" HS it will be just under 37 mm.
