From: rural Southwest Washington State

Bikes: riding an 83 Raleigh Grand Prix, building a Surly Long Haul Trucker, planning my first frame (650B, fenders, horizontal dropouts)

structural integrity
If you know you'll chrome the frame can you use slightly thinner tubing to compensate? Does the chrome contribute to the strength of the frame at all?

Anyway, weight's never my primary concern.
