Hi Jay, Just to correct my original reply to you, I was referring to the fork crowns.
The two samples of Sam Hillborne by Brian of Renaissance bike, show two different fork crowns used. The one on the orange is I think the fancier one used on AHH. While on the green is the same on my Bleriot. I think you have a point in the "unmatched" head lugs used on both the green and orange Sam samples. Lugs, including fork crowns, should carry a design theme all throughout the bike from the head tube, seat cluster, and sometimes also on the bottom bracket shell. Even the used- to-be-less-fancy and 'cheapest' Bleriot has 'matched' lugs that carry a design theme.
