Thanks Tom. I don't see it mentioned on your site but do you offer fillet brazing? I'll bet you could do a mean job of it if you had to!

Thanks for the compliment. Actually, we only build with lugs unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. Lugged steel frames are simply stronger than bronze welded frames. We think they look better as well.

Thanks for the super-fast reply Tom. My compliment to you was more in a hidden attempt to appeal to your ego! I was hoping you'd say "Ahhh yesss we DO do a nice job of fillet brazing!".
But no matter Tom; yes lugs are nice too.
Another question for you - do any lugs allow for fatter tubes than the 1.125" downtube and 1" toptube of lugged frames that I'm familiar with?
I guess I could ask you all this in an e-mail but this site needs more traffic.

Mike:
In fact, we now make the majority of our lugs in house because no one makes the angles and diameters that we need for our custom frames.
To your specific question, Henry James does cast lugs in the appropriate diameters as long as the top tube remains level. When we make a compact frame, we do have to make the lugs here.
