To me the beauty of what is on topic or not on this list is that although
there are rules, generally when folks of good intention and any degree of
taste at all even find any subject debatable as to whether on topic or not
the rest of us, even (Or especially?) the venerated List Meister allow
enough slack to make good communication on the matter not only possible ,
but enjoyable. Certainly bikes both with and without lugs can be exactly on
topic for us, although my own taste strongly resembles Lou's. I sold what
was probably the best bike I ever owned to Mark Poore precisely because I
loved lugs so much and that bike did not have them. I still shake my head
about that one...
Now about this breath takingly beautiful line of C Record Components that
Campagnolo produced...certainly the most beautiful components ever...
