Beautiful 750 builds. I'm surprised that the lugged is lighter but glad to see it as my 790/750/970/520 are all the lugged variety.

Any noticeable differences between the lugged and tig 750s in...

Hey Rooney,

I don't have pictures close at hand and that bike is on loan for a while so I can't easily snap new ones. The good thing is that there are lots of discussions on "chainstay dimpling"...

Great looking rides Hi_C! How do you like the 1by setups? I assume the simplicity is nice.

Do you have past long distance touring experience? If you do your answer may lie there.

I'd prefer to be in a group on trip like that but agree that it's personal and may not be for everyone.
