i wouldn't use them. a frame already has enough straight lines, i wouldn't want straight lines in my lugs too.

They're like the opposite of everything that makes a lug beautiful.

Yeah I don't like them either, they're just ********ly weird. I'm really curious to see what they'd look like on a bike, though... like one of those SOMECs with the pixellated logos, perhaps?

i'm pretty sure the intention of the lugs is that they be carved. i don't think many builders would use them stock (pixelated).

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

on the right bike with the right finish they could potentially look ****ing amazing

They'd be perfect on an art deco bike.

Either way, I think that if used by a talented builder with a little carving on them they'd be great. Actually, I think that in the form they're in, they could really turn out nicely, and definitely different.
