Bryce - ahh that's a good point, now that you say it, it seems only logical that the next generation of Hillibike will use these lugs and a straight top tube that's thicker gauge than the CHG. Should not only improve the cost / fab time, but stiffen up the frame a bit too I'd expect. I kinda hope that this head badge is for the kids' bike and the next gen Hillibike will soon follow though because this headbadge isn't very elegant to my eyes
