     @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io yes! That’s the article I just read since I was like, what the hell is a lug??
     
     Jesus, they’re so much prettier than the welded ones.

     @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I just didn’t know bikes could be, or ever were, that pretty. That makes so much sense.
     
     I already wanted a steel frame bike, but now I know I want one with lugs, too. They’re so pretty 😭 those curves!

     @aud sort of the modern version: https://www.rivbike.com/products/lugged-roadini

     Also check out the bikes on bluelug.com. Japanese store but the brands they carry will give you a good sense of what to look for locally!
