    Thanks for posting the link! While we (mostly) all ride welded alloy frames (yes i'm going to count steel as an alloy) There's something beautifully clean about a lugged frame!

    As my budd Dave once said, frame building is nothing more than plumbing with very expensive pipe!

    Makes me want to build a new frame.....

    I love the look of lugged frames. I would love to have one similar to what he is making. Same paint scheme as well, polished lugs with tubes painted(unsure of what color I would like, something classic though).
