What is the difference between a "traditional lugged" steel frame and the "butted" frame referenced above?
A lugged frame uses "lugs" that the tubes fit into and are then "brazed" in place (low heat welding basically)

Butted frames are when the frame tubing is "butted" against each other and then welded in place.
