What is a fully lugged frame?
I recently came to own a Bianchi fully lugged frame, I was just wondering what that meant, I am new to road cycling. Also if anyone knows anything about a BIANCHI CAMPIONE DEL MONDO D'ITALIA road bike I would greatly appreciate the information.
Look at the joints in the frame, like where the top tube meets the head tube, or the downtube meets the bottom bracket. You will see those tubes slide into these beautiful, sculpted pieces at those joints. That small piece that the main tubes fit into are called Lugs. For the most part, the only frame material that uses Lugs is fairly high quality Steel, and Bianchi is famous for their Steel frames. The old statement in the bicycle industry is "Steel is Real" because it is relatively light weight, very comfortable, forgiving, and quite efficient. The other type of material that is commonly lugged is Carbon Fiber, but in this case, the lugs are internal and you won't see ANY joint between the tubes at all.
Lugged Steel frames are BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, FUN, etc... and if you can pick that Bianchi up at a good price, DO IT! You won't be sorry!
