Had a talk with an old frame builder last week that got me thinking

He said modern carbon frames are great but most mechanics don't know how to actually read a frame's ride feel anymore... that's stuck with me. He was talking about how lugged steel tells you so much just by looking at the angles and tube butting. Anyone else find themselves looking at bikes different after a chat like that?

Old frame guy told me once that lugs are like fingerprints. Each one tells a story.

What kind of story did he mean, like who built it or how it got used?
