Dale and all,

I think a well crafted and properly designed lugged (or fillet

brazed) steel frame will always have a market and a few appreciators

that understand what it takes to build frames the old and laborious

way. The production versions of same will also tag along for the ride

to some degree.

Somewhat amazing, and truely heartwarming, to see the YOUNGER

generation of cycling enthueiasts embrace lugged steel frames and

demand some heart and soul in a bike frame. Perhaps there is HOPE for

the human race!

I think that the lugged frame has it's niche... The young crowd,

seeking alternatives to what they see as a glitzy, yuppy, elitest

cycling scene, have embraced steel both lugged, filet brazed and

tigged. This is still a relatively small group but certainly more

than

the babby boomer folks (us) who have appreciated this style bike all

along. There is no question that vintagesque bikes and bike

components

are having a modest revival.

I did not notice a 953 tubed frame but there very well may have been

one.

Hi Dale or other Interbike attendees,

Do tell us more about the lugged bikes - is there a revival of

steel-lugged frames? Are we going to see more KOF bikes in the style

which fits within the CR (KOF) parameters - especially with the

introduction of Reynolds 953? Were there any frames built with 953 at

Interbike?

Enquiring minds would like to know!! ;^)

Cheers,

Paul.
