"I mean, for example Richo has been building bikes since I was born, and if there was ever a question regarding lugged framebuilding and processes, or heck even custom road bikes in general you'd be the dumbest person on earth not to at least listen."

On the other hand sometimes I do hear stuff that is at odds with my 30 years experience somewhere else. I know lots of people with 30 years experience at something.

The irony in this case, is that in general terms, the "lugsters", are coming here and saying a type of bike that you can find googled on the internet from no further back then 10 years ago, doesn't exist, possibly never existed. That's amusing because on the same basis of scarcity lugged racing bikes are a complete anachronism from the same period. Hey they may be wonderful, and some of us may look back to a time 20 years ago and say:

"I am trying to re-create the feel of my second racing bike I had a very long time ago and lost in a crash.
Never had anything as nimble and well behaved since. <

Does anyone have any internet links, to a primer or framebuilder data on frame joinery? More specifically, covering the difference between lugged steel bikes, Tigged bikes, and carbon bikes?"

I'm surprised they don't have crit bikes, heck they have bikes for cobble stones. Funny world.
