david,
the head tube is a constant 44mm inner diameter. both cane creek and chris king make headsets that allow a short stack upper cup that sits down in the tube, and a external cup on the bottom.

the "lug" you see is a gusset made with what is called bilaminate construction. basically, a sleeve that is brazed onto the down tube before mitered and brazed onto the head tube. extra work, yes, but worth it, i think.

Tell me more about that head tube. In the pictures it doesn't look tapered, is it tapered on the inside or is it oversized and your using a tapered headset?

Also, is it lugged? There seems to be something going on there.

So close to calling you to place an order.
