vjp,

Those are my photos and it really is just a small percentage of bikes at the show that had the fancy cut lugs---I just tried to show the most unusual things in the photos I posted. I thought that showing 30 photos of simple, short point lugs would be too redundant and boring. But the bikes by Sachs, Serotta and other more traditional builders were beautiful too.

Plus the builders who are there probably bring their most exotic items for people to drool over even though the bulk of their framebuilding is tamer. Kind of like a car show, where manufacturers bring their wildest designs even though most never see production.
