96 GT Talera Headset Question,...

Hi, picked up this bike, mint condition, already updated the cranks and bottom bracket and wheels to double wall eyelet. Chromoly frame with threaded 25.4/1-1/8 quill steerer, anyone know if this bike takes a standard headset to convert to threadless? Going to install a new suspension fork and pretty sure i'm gonna need to change out the headset to accommodate the threadless steerer. I've done pretty much everything else but I think the OD of the standard 1-1/8 bearing cups should be 34mm, Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hey, never mind, I went ahead and tore it apart and measured, it is 34mm exactly for the cups. Just ordered up a Suntour XCT DS 26" fork with new FSA headset, cable hanger that mounts to the fork for the original v brake with a 31.8 stem for the Easton Hi bars that I also have coming. I upgraded the crankset and matching bottom bracket tonight and a nice new set of Redline low pro platform pedals, going to be a mix of old and new school, should be awesome in the trails. Not sure how many post's I have to make before I can post up pics but I will post them up when it's complete.
