I'm always blown away by this sort of behavior. I mean, if a person can't admit to a silly mistake on an anonymous web forum, what is he like in real life? Yikes.

I thought this guy's video was pretty good. He's approaching it from the standpoint of a small independent framebuilder, not necessarily mass production, but he discusses the pros and cons of each and shows you how it's done. I have both, lugged and TIG-welded. I'd rather have lugged of course, but our Rockhoppers are TIG welded and tough as nails. I don't particularly like the way TIG welding looks, though.
