To answer your questions below with brevity, when the framebuilder is done designing he replaces his artisan hat with his craftsman hat; and to each his own hat size and taste.

Hi Joe, welcome to the list: Now, suppose the artisan in question works all sort of magic on those stamped lugs but screws the pooch on the rest of the frame. Is he still an artisan? Does the guy using the IC pieces (maybe of his own design), who puts together a superior product and a good looking one to boot now qualify as an artisan? Hmmm, me thinks this is far more complicated than what kind of lug is used. Richard Rose (Toledo, Ohio)
