Some lug pics
 

Today was a nice day to drag out some lugs for snapshots. I don't have the patience, nor the photographic skill to give them the studio portrait treatment. Please forgive me for the unorganized jumble.

I'll attach one pic. Go here for more: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmMwB3Vm

That must have been some poker game...

Nice collection!

All you need to find is some metric tubing to go with that baggie...

I must have been playing at the same table too. This is by no means the total of my collection of old lugs.

I didn't realize bicycle frame lugs were subject to COVID-19 hoarding. I guess you could trade them for toilet paper or hand sanitizer.

Man, I am coming up short again. All I have is a pair of drop outs.

I have maybe 4 sets of metric 753 (sorry no inventory, and I haven't looked lately). Still, more metric lugs than metric tubesets.

I'm officially certified to build with 753 too -- not that it matters... The only 753 frames I built were before I got the 'diploma'. I worked at a shop that had passed their test, so we could buy the tubes. They didn't ask who would be actually brazing the frames. By the time I took their test under my own name years later, 753 wasn't really a thing anymore, and I ended up not making any 753 frames after that. Ironic.

Me too and mine are used!!

Actually, Mark, I think you've got the basis for a really nice poster that would do well here among us old reprobates. Let us know when it's available or when we can get a .jpg

Thanks for the new desktop photo, Bulgie! :thumb:

We've uncovered a couple of lug nuts!

That's right VeloMule, a full house beats a pair...

My small contribution to this tread.

Well, now we know where they all went to, nice collections! :thumb:
Best, Ben

<<< Twitching uncontrollably:twitchy:, and drooling madly:D.

I have a set of 1010B front and rear ends, a prugnat (?)BB, and a recently purchased Campy aero DT shifter braze-on, Oh, and an oxygen tank (full sized) that I used for fish (koi) transport. It's been a very long time since I touched a torch...
