In every *Bicycle Quarterly*, we present an "Icon" - a part that we feel is among the best of its kind. Some are classics, like the JOS headlight or the Huret Jubilee derailleur, others more recent like the Shimano M-737 SPD pedals, or even timeless, like the Brooks B-17 saddle. Together with a beautiful studio photo, we talk about the history and significance of the part.
The Summer 2017 "Icon" are the first Rivendell lugs, originally designed by Richard Sachs for Bridgestone, and used on the very first Rivendell Road frames way back in 1994. You could say that the resurgence of lugged bikes began with this lugset, and for good reason: It's still one of the most elegant curly lugsets ever made. My linked attachments don't always come through, so I posted a photo on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bikequarterly/ Enjoy!
