I'll throw in pictures of the two bikes, one steel the other Ti;

I was looking at the Soma frame and now understand that the designers really pinched the chainstays to make room for both a road triple and 700x40 MTB tires. I'm now starting to wonder how much stiffer it would be with round chainstay tubes that would fit 700x28's?
