Lugs....lugs....git yer lugs 'ere
Okay Fixie freaks, I've just worked out a deal with a sub-contractor and can now offer lugged construction as an option. YAY!
I pretty much just worked though this because I've had a few enquiries from riders wanting lugged fixies, and being a lug lover myself, it's kinda nice to be able to offer them as an option now, so I'm pretty stoked.
I have a preference for Pacenti Slant 6 lugs and Pauls or Paragon dropouts, but theoretically any style of lugs would be okay.
Only downside, is that now that I know more about lug construction, I can see what a pain in the ass it is, and how tricky it is to do it well. This is why all good lugged frames aren't cheap - there's a heap of grunt work in getting a lug to the angles you need, and a lot of pazazz required to keep the thing straight during construction.
