I guess I'm used to it already, but I have a semi-TIGed CLEM so I've had plenty of experience with them. I've always been a big proponent of this - the possibility was floated by Grant when Riv first started - but got no traction with it the last time I brought it up 7-or-so years ago. I like lugs, but I've always felt that the real *thing* that makes a Riv is the design which yields a fabulous ride, and Grant's eye for color and graphics. I suppose this goes back to Bridgestone days when lugs showed up on the more expensive bikes, but weren't the only way GP-designed bikes were produced.
Personally I like good steel bikes, and am not particularly picky about how the tubes go together. I'm happy to see Rivendell bring the fight down to Surly price levels 'cause, seriously, those suckers are EVERYWHERE.
