Hi ,
Just wondering if someone can explain the differences between tange infinity tubing compared to kaisei 022 I'm not actually planning to build my own frame however I 've posted here in the hope that any frame builders here will know what i'm talking about.
I've come across a tour bike that I would like to buy. The newest model uses 022 while the previous year model's tubing is tange infinity. I'm not sure what, if any difference the change of tubing actually makes in this case. The frame designs are identical and overall spec.
Thanks,
kohey

I’d say those tubesets are comparable in terms of metal composition and tube thickness, although it’s not possible to make a definitive statement unless we know more specifics in terms of what exact tubes are used to build the frames.
