Sloping Top Tube OS Lug Set

I'm currently designing a touring bike for both on and off road and want to use a lug set with a sloping top tube. I'm using single OS tube set (28.6 TT, 31.8 DT, 36mm HT, ect..) I can't seem to find them anywhere in stock. The slant six set at Nova has been sold out for months. Anyone know I could find some or be willing to sell a set? Thanks

You can contact Dazza directly. I got mine shipped from Australia before Nova started carrying them. I recently saw a FB post saying he had everything in stock

Thanks. I looked at his stuff but he only spec's 1" had tubes for standard OS lug sets. I already have most of the tubes that I want to build with.

I thought that's what you were looking for. Email Ceeway maybe?

That may be my best route. Thanks.

You could also make your own lugs. Then you can have whatever angle and size you like.

If you search through Ceeway you might find the lugs you need, they will not necessarily be 'matching' but may be close enough in style to be OK or easily modded to match. Best contact Ceeway and ask them.

I have looked into this as I wanted to use 36 Head tube 35 DT and 28.6 TT and ST (with sloping TT) and Ceeway had something available for each joint. Not sure about your HT/DT joint though.

It is a shame llewllyn lugs aren't available in sizes to mix 1OS and 2OS tubes.

I have wished for a LLewellyn lug that mated 1 1/8 steerer with 1OS tubes, but there aren't any. I think all of the available options are a little ugly. I'm not too interested in sloping top tubes though.

Someone on FB said Nova will be back in stock soon.

I completely agree with this. I'm a little surprised with how nice those lugs are that it's not an option. I also don't focus on sloping top tubes that much but for this bike it seems like they way to go because of the off-road options I want.

It sounds like Nova is switching directions a bit with a new owner. They are 25 minute drive away from me so I like to support them so much as I can.

I cross posted this to the FB framebuilder's page and Alex Meade pointed me to what I needed at Ceeway with model numbers. Super helpful. I've copied it below.

Lugs LT07, LD07 and either LS204C-78 or L5 should do the job.

I'm getting this third hand so take it as such. Lon sold to someone but is still there for the transition. Sounds like they are restocking most parts but also starting some in-house production. What they are producing I'm not sure. I'll update as I hear more.
