Anyway, whilst I'm here I might as well update some more:
I've been trying to figure out the lug-work and the paint for this by doing some shonky photoshopping, which has been fun.
One thing that is certain is that this will have a bilaminate head tube. I have no idea how feasible it is in practice but I came up with the idea of having the lower 'lug' extending up the back of the head tube and creeping along the underside of the top tube. The lower lug also starts on the sides of the head tube as opposed to wrapping around the front like a regular lug.
I've asked Billy (who I think will be doing most of the metal work) how possible it is and am awaiting his reply. I imagine the main problem is to get the shape right to go over the lower part of the TT / HT fillet, which is not a problem bilam HTs usually run into.
Something like this... (although I only chose this photo as it has handy colour fades for photoshopping, my bike will be a road bike with different geo and tubes etc... but hopefully you get the idea):
