Good points about the heavier rider or touring frames. I did think of that and it is sort of like Columbus SL and SP both being made from the same alloy, just different gauges. It just seems strange...

No. Not at all. I'm asking what is the point of offering all the same tubes in 853 that you offer in 525? They weigh the same in either material. It is known the 525 tubes are sufficiently strong by...

Of course that is what I am saying. And it would feel the same too. Not understanding that is what causes so many folks to throw money away on expensive tubing to no purpose.

I'm sure that's right, but how then do you take advantage of the strength of 853 to lighten a steel bike?
