i wouldn't do it personally, but let us know what happens.

Regarding the ornateness of lugwork, i heard that was to do with increasing the area available to dissipate the heat during the brazing process or something. i think i read about it on the hetchins site.

Yeah its bit mad. Maybe I'll just ride an uglier bike.

For some reason that (the ornate lugs dissipating heat) sounds to me like justification for what is essentially just showing off! God all that crazy extended cut out lugs stuff is a bit much if you ask me, especially when they're chromed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
