Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Because welding techniques have improved immensely, newer tubing alloys and shapes are better able to take the welding heat and brazed lugged assembly has gotten too expensive.
