Agreed.
Speaking of lugs, a good friend bought a beautiful Peter Mooney today. Now, those lugs on the PM are really special.
Fwiw I rode my Fargo for three hours today and my old Miyata mtb for 25 minutes to run to the lbs and pick up inner tubes. I run in cycles, but I am riding my new bicycles 90% or better. The old ones are sure fun to look at though.
