I considered leaving the original head tube in place and putting frame extensions in front of it for the "real" headtube and front end, such that the original head tube could support the handlebars alone and then there'd be a steering link running forwards to the drive/steer fork. This time I opted for the simplicity of direct handlebar mounting in spite of it getting a tiller effect. Also there is no steering system slop from added joints and bits. Who knows, maybe I'll try it the other way sometime. First impression of tiller effect steering is OK though.
