2003 Giant XTC SL aluxx MTB - which aftermarket headset is compatible
I am looking for an aftermarket headset that is compatible with an old Giant XTC SL aluxx frame. My best guess is dating 2003.

That is a neat frame.

I'm assuming that is integrated?
New could be tough, but any mechanic worth their salt will have a box of treasures and should be able to piece something together. Most of those things have one of two or three standards and you can make one that fits. Given the vintage of that frame, not a bad option That aside, new frames come with new headsets

Appreciate all the responses and suggestions.
Yes, it's integrated and tapered. https://www.canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder This is really helpful, but unfortunately they don't have any Giant models in their database that dates earlier than 2010. Shovel pal, interestingly, the closest match I can find is actually a BMX's. I took out the caliper to take some measurements, so for both the top and bottom, OD~50 ID 41.5.
