I, too, like the Nervex Prof. lugs, and have for decades. Still, like the little ditty about the little girl, "When she was good, she was very good, and when she was bad, she was..." I still smile about the weirdest implementation I ever saw. It was a classic, bike-boom Crescent from Sweden, in the standard orange. Campy, Nervex, the whole thing. Except that it was "snaggle-toothed." Somehow, the front of the lower head lug had split, leaving a gap, slightly asymetric but with one "hook" still on each side. Worked fine, but hardly a candidate for concours... This was in Corvallis, OR, in the early 70s.
