I think it’s good that you got the Capella version, it helps add some variation...plus those lugs are beautiful! I know in my own collection I’ve got four different bikes with Nervex Pro Lugs and I’m starting to look like a one trick pony. Granted, it’s a good trick, but I tend to look for other types of lugs now.
Yes. The 72 is nice. As I said in the video, Ive had others that I were about to purchase to find out that they were damaged or in bad shape. I was surprised at the condition when I actually saw it. The original owner was a nice guy and really took care of it. I enjoy the nervex. The ones with the nervex were somewhat built better. The 73 has all sorts or flaws in the brazing. Bike boom rush! lol
Thanks
