No. Lugs suck because steel frame technology has moved on. Large diameter tubes and TIG welding give stronger and more lightweight frames, larger diameter tubes also produce stiffer frames, and using larger tubes allow them to be shaped so as to improve ride quality. Any Monkey Brain can braze up a lugged frame, or for that matter a fillet brazed frame as well, but yer TIG welding requires skill and know-how.
Lugged frames are child's play.
you are clueless. this bike is going to be awesome. sod off and go have a wank or something

Mr Savine is harder than you no doubt.

Progress so far....
Headset, stem, bars, levers, seatpost, saddle, fd, rd, cranks, pedals and BB fitted.
Problems so far...
Had to sell my silver record hubbed wheels due to buying a house soon and need every last £
Honjos wouldn't fit properly on the front due to wheel rub so had to put sks on -
i may sell the honjos and get some cream SKS longobards.
To do....
Cable up and bar tap on and go for a test ride
Fit...
Feels spot on
Weight....
NOT WW by any stretch of the imagination
PICS - hopefully on the weekend.
