Chuck,
I concur. Those extended head lugs are heinous from an aesthetic viewpoint. Fugly might even apply. Otherwise, the Newvex lugset is awesome. Too bad there isn't an option of a old-style upper head lug for us retro-grouches, there's really no significant advantage to the extended head lug other than aheadset compatibility (a questionable benefit in itself) that I can see...
