Absolutely my top pick dream bike. Loved Speedgoat when it was around.
For your headtube question, as a non-engineer (actually, I like to say armchair engineer. Not least of all because I build furniture), but as a longtime fabricator:
I would feel good about it, if using \#1) some basic bolts through the teardrop section aft of the headtube, and \#2) a dovetailed plate set into the seam at the very front. Could be a cool basis for a head badge, I’ve never seen it before, and I think it would add a lot of strength. Chris, if you use it let me have a test ride at least.
