Curtis, I appreciate the offer however the differential between my Hilsen 58 cm and your 67cm Hilsen probably wouldn't be the most effective trial geometry. I'd have to plant my magic bean just to mount your bike friendly giant. I will give it a go just for the humor of it.
Of course it's all based on individual need and I'm sure I'll love a bicycle outfitted with an albatross or stash bar.
