The mass produced lugged bicycle is long gone. Today, lugged construction is found primarily on quality, hand made bicycles. The added technical and esthetic values offset the added labor of lugged construction. Custom bicycle enthusiasts appreciate the technical superiority, better reliability, longer life, and great looks of a well made lugged frame.

Silver brazed construction with lugs reinforces the joints, so the frame has added strength where it is needed. Building with lugs also allows the frame builder’s artistry to come through in the finished product.
