Lugs are metal sleeves that the frame tubes plug into at the joints. In the case of steel frames, they are made of steel and add strength, allowing the builder to use less heat in the process of building the frame. This means the tubes distort less and fit together more precisely, which also aids longevity. We use only precisely cast lugs for superior performance and low weight.
