Yep, checking the head tube length is always a good idea to determine ahead of time if you fork will work.

The 057 frame had a longer headtube than my previous bike but I was able to use a zero stack can creek headset which left me having to use a short spacer. My previous headset was an Fsa which was a bit taller. Could be worth looking at.
