Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Since frame tube ODs a re standardized (or can easily be measured) the post diameter is a direct indicator of tube wall thickness, which is half the difference between OD and post or ID.

That in turn can offer some guidance about the type and overall quality o9f the tubing, but that's about as far as it goes.
