Does any one know what a 100% tri-moly frame would be? Is it stronger than high-tensile? Is it weaker? How does it compare to chromoly? :D

tri-moly is nothing more than an advertising technique to describe a frame that is composed of chro-moly tubes and hi-ten tubes, its likely that as little as maybe the seat tube could be chro-moly or as many as the front triangle could be chro-moly, but thats it, in a nutshell, just a combintion of the tubes.
