The Cadenzia lug set emanated from a discussion I had during a visit to Dario Pegoretti's workshops in Caldonazzo in 2009. The name comes from a South Australian wine that I like. This lug set fits XL or DOO size tubes . ("UOS" is a more recent marketed name for the same tube size) For Wayne's frame set I will use for the first time the final version of the new socket seat stay seat lug, which has larger flowing fillets to the surfaces for aesthetic desires.

Love..

This is the final version with revised fillets. I will have these lugs and frame sets with these lugs on show at Bristol "Bespoked" 2017.

Absolutely gorgeous work Dazza! Thanks for sharing. A couple questions if you don't mind.

1) How does your build sequence differ with the new seat lug? Do you braze up the seat lug, including stays, in one go?

2) I saw that the nice seafoam green frameset on your flickr uses the new seat lug but the frameset appears to have a sloping top tube. Will the lug be available in both sloping and horizontal TT varieties?

Thanks much!

Are those seat lugs available for purchase yet please? Also, what is the diameter of the seat stay socket? I am pleased to learn that you will be at Bristol again. I publicised that elsewhere on here.

I'm obviously not Dazza but I did remember him posting this. The seat stay ports are 17mm. Also, Dazza's linked post answers my question about there being a sloping top tube variety.

(1)Yes, for normal steel I do it all in one cook-up but for this stainless one I will do the seat stays after I have filed and sanded and done the polish on the seat lug.

(2)Yes, I have both sloping (Crescendo) and level top tube (Cadenzia) versions. The regular supply of these lugs will be about some time next month

Bristol "Bespoked" is a great gig, in a venue that is dear to my heart. (The original GWR Temple Meads station by Brunel) Great people and a fun time and some fine ales. I am looking forward to the trip.
17mm seat stays. Standard Columbus XL- DOO tubes. These new seat lugs will be available as an option in the Cadenzia and Crescendo lug sets some time in February.

Some years ago when I started this style of lug cutting a customer made the comment they have as many curves as Nigella Lawson. After that I used the term, "the Nigella treatment"
referring to her cooking of course.

Wayne's stainless steel Cadenzia seat lug is done.

[Dazza]

By the start of 2005 I was doing my own 3D CAD drafting, rather than farming it out and the resultant loss of interpretation from what was intended in my cranium to what the investment casting became. As an uneducated sod I jokingly called this process my PhD in frame making. I got the large text books and spent many evenings going through page by page the process of parametric modeling. I started simple and in steps escalated the complexity. In 2006 it was time to design and produce the Llewellyn dropouts. I took in the details of good dropouts I have used in the past and mixed in my desires. Lots of time on the 3D CAD program and after confirmations and tweaks via 3D printing some rapids, out of the mix came the dropouts. Hard to believe it was over ten years ago. Crikey! Wayne's drops are on the bench for a wee while of pondering.

[Dazza]

Wayne's brief on the dropouts is "one of my favorite details on a Bespoke bike are the dropouts; make 'em gorgeous!!" I give this some thought on the hot and humid Friday. Scribble scribble and then the Whrrrr, whizzzz and file file file starts. I hope Wayno likes this?

[Dazza]

These front drops are ready for the cook up. I think they will look sweet when polished and against the paint. Come to "Bespoked" and let me know.

[Dazza]

"Whoops" "You stupid #%&*#!!!$*&##!! Wally! You will have to start again with another left hand drop"

Do you spot the mistake?

A selection of Columbus tubes in XL, DOO or UOS or what ever you wish to call it, (I call it XL) it is all the same size and the walls and butts are not proprietary.
