I've been puzzling over this post since Sunday Richie...
You say it takes you twice as long to make a bike frame now (using your investment cast lugs?) as it did using pre-investment cast lugs (pressed steel lugs?)? And that the 200% increase in time it takes you to make a frame today is in the parts of the frame that do not include the lugs??????????????????? (e-RICHIE® style question mark)
Would you elaborate in some detail please? (Chuckissimo® style question mark)
