Message: : All other things being equal (thickness of tube wall, diameter of tube), how will the method of joining the tubes affect how the bike feels when I ride it? Does a steel bike w/ lugs feel worse than a TIG-welded or fillet-brazed, etc.? If all other things are equal, the joining method won't affect the way the bike feels. The frame may be slightly heavier with lugs or fillet construction, but that's it.
