TIG-WELDED:
LUGGED:
Delancey
 New dropout on 2nd generation Delancey.   Click
to enlarge. |
 Soma Delancey shown with matching fork. Though not obvious in picture, the fork will take a brake. We chose only to chrome the front lugs. We want you all to have a pretty bike, but not get too self-conscious about it. Note: Our second run has a higher BB to accomadate the more agressive fixie rider. It also features a longer headtube for a more comfortable position. We've had a few complaints that our headtubes were way too short, which they were. It was a limitation of the lugs we were using and our desire to stay with traditional level top tubes. The new run of frames will be the same color, but the "Delancey" mark will be in a different font than shown above so we can quickly distinguish the two production runs. Another way to tell is the dropout on the 2nd generation is longer and has a more elegant transition to the stays. For those who intend to complain that now our headtubes are too long....learn to ride in the drops. : ) |
Why
Lugged Construction:
Lug
frame construction has been used since the olden days, but that does not
mean it is outdated.
If you need more persuasion beyond just the cool nostalgic look of a lugs
to make you buy one, check this out:
1. Lugs are generally stronger than TIG welded joints and might arguably
last longer.
2. Lugged frames are more easy to repair than welded frames.
