Thanks for those, Bob.

The Nervex Professional lug set and its variants has to be the ultimate classic "fancy lug", even though they were a mass produced stock part. Call me a blasphemer, but to me just about any frame built with Nervex lugs makes all your Masis, Colnagos, Legnanos, Singers and Herses look like something made by a plumber using pipe fittings. Plain lugs just don't cut it for me.
