Thickness of Frame materials...
I'm just curious about the thickness at the thinnest part of say the top tube of some high quality frame materials like steel, titanium, aluminum and carbon. People talk about how thin they're getting, well how thin (in thousands of an inch or I can convert from mm) are they getting??? Anyone know? TIA

Not a VS thread, just looking to get a visual on things.
