Even basic CrMo steel can be properly used in a range of gauges in frame tubes reaching all the way down to double butted 0.80-0.50-0.80 mm thicknesses. That is comparable to the old Columbus SL. But Columbus SP was much heavier yet made from the same material. So the steel type is no automatic indicator of tube weight and therefore frame weight.
