It is.

Here's a shot of the same frame in white from the museum....



The top and bottom of the headtube has a lip for some reason, the bottom cup is inside the headtube in my picture but you can see the lip which looks like it is part of the cup.

I'm watching you.

























It's a move the red arrows do, yes?

Those 'lips' are for strengthening the headtube - stops headtube flair (when the front of the bike takes an impact the cups smack the inside of the headtube and cause it to widen).
