Hi Alan,

We just had a similar thread on the Frame Builders' List.

Someone was looking for a set of aero lugs.

I had the lugs he was looking for. I got one of the tube sets that you mentioned in the early '90s and built this fillet brazed "funny bike". Third picture down:

I still had the lugs in my display case.
