Thanks... this is good to know. I wasn't sure if the midtown frames are universal, or if the Bullhead differed from the Silvertip. I'm trying to decide if the IGH is worth it. I really like the IGH on my Brompton, especially for city riding, but it's my only bike with such gearing: the rest are cassettes.
