Oooh, and SOMA has sale frames that were mis-painted/mis-labelled.

I guess this means lugged steel bikes are going to be the next big biking fad?
Rivendell's been quietly making them all along. We're now a 3 Rivendell family. Lugged steel is great as a long distance road & touring bike, and also as an everyday bike for all kinds of conditions. We like riding on very rough gravel/dirt roads, we can put any width tire on our Rivendells, from 23's all the way up to 38's. That gives us a lot of versatility.
Steel. It's not just for breakfast anymore.Lisa

They already are the next big bike fad! You think Rivendell's the only one?
(try looking at some of the avatars on TE) I fought popular sentiment in my house because i didn't want to pay for those lugs, as pretty as they are.
my bike to be is tig welded. If it's good enough for airplane parts, (we do it at my factory too) it's good enough for me.
