I got a 2008 Trek 1.2 frame off ebay, in order to build a cheap commuter with parts from my parts-bin. It came without a fork and headset. I plan to use a full-carbon 1 1/8 fork I have from an older bike but I am quite confused as to what headset to order:

In the pictures of the bike I can find it looks to be either an integrated or a semi-integrated headset most probably the second one from the looks of the headtube on the frame I got.

BUT, I measured the inner diameter of the headtube, and it is 33mm and I seem unable to find any headset of this diameter! What is going on?

Just in case anyone stumbles across the question in the future, it turns out that the frame does not accept an integrated headset, and needs an ec34.
