Our stock frames all use pressed lugs. For those who don't know, there are 2 types of lugs for bicycle frames, pressed and cast. There is a misconception that pressed lugs are inferior when built into a complete frame. This is untrue. It is true that pressed lugs are not as dimensionally accurate as cast lugs and also perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing.Cast lugs on the other hand sometimes require extra work removing unwanted material from the lug, due to the casting process.
One thing we always do on frames with pressed lugs is remove the old unsightly, hollow allen key seat cluster and replace it with a new boss. On cheaper frames this is often over looked.
