VRZ 1. a tack bike frame with 3d printed lugs from Ralf Holleis on Vimeo.
A clever use of 3D printing to create lugs for a bicycle frame. I am not someone who pines for a bicycle-as-work-of-art like this, but there is no reason I can think of not to use a technical approach like this to build a bicycle frame that would more pedestrian in appearance but good to ride.
From a bicycle "accessories" (mostly parts) catalog of 1900
The elegance of a lugged bicycle frame to me is that it is the way most good (and I suppose some other) bicycles were built for the better part of 100 years.
