I'm pretty sure if I ever need to replace this, it's going to be a custom build with exactly same frame geometry, as this is spot on for me.
Are you running 650bs on this? It's tough to beat the geometry on the low end Pugs. They had a nice long wheelbase and relatively shallow angles much like a touring bike. That makes for a bike with stable handling that can take a load. They're all nice riders and classic bikes. Nice job on this bike. I have a UE 8 I need to get rideable . . .
