Velorbis bicycles all have lugged steel frames – what are the advantages?
A. A lug is a socket that forms the junction between two or more frame tubes. Steel has historically been the material of choice for high-quality bicycle frames. Likewise lugged construction has always been the preferred means of assembling a steel frame. Traditional bicycle construction uses steel tubes and lugs, joined together by brazing so that the space between the tube and the lug fills up with molten brass.
