I haven't asked Winston about the price for bilaminate lugs yet (or if he's even up for doing it), but yes I would assume it'll add a bit to the price. On the Saffron website (iirc) they quote 300 quid extra for it... which is a bit of a hike for sure.
My thinking at the moment is it's actually my preference over the Nervex, but only if it doesn't break the bank. It would be great fun coming up with ideas for lug designs, and I really like the idea of pairing that kind of front end with a super clean, fillet-brazed seat cluster - with those notched-and-fluted top eyes over the top.

A bit more money for the bilaminate headtube and i guess a fillet brazed seat cluster will cost a bit more than using lugs as well but you can't put a price on your happiness. You'll probably regret any compromises more than you'll regret spending a little more to get it looking exactly how you want it 😁

That Bishop is beautiful. I assume a bilaminate front end adds a fair bit to the budget? Its a shame the Richard Sachs lugs are so tall and llwwelyn have used something similar on the colossus but its tall also. So many choices eh. Good luck with it
