I have bikes with the following tubes
531 DB
531 C
Ishiwata triple butted, splined
SLX
SLX, with shaped chainstays
753
Dedaciacci ZeroUno
Aluminum
I can tell the differences between the Al and the steel bikes. I can tell the difference between the 531 and 753 bikes, due to weight.
Other than that, with a good quality tubeset the greatest difference arises from the wheels and tires.
I prefer to just ride a bike and enjoy it.
