BT,
You're right as far as one piece lugs. (That's why I inserted the "umm".) I just think that the total package from Bohemian is more ornate. Yes, there are additions brazed on. However, lugs can be made as long as you want. They just may not be a stock OTC set of lugs. The Vanilla I'm having done will have lug points in the 4-5" range and they are all one piece, no add ons. Trick is that Sacha used two ss tubes mated together (at least I think that's how he did it.) and then carved those up to make my lugs. No such thing as a stock 5" lug, he just made them from scratch. Those are the headtube and seat tube lugs. The bottom bracket lug had the stock tips extended to 4". (Just another way of long tips that are one piece.)
