I think it helps you pick the bike that you want. Touring, the Atlantis has thicker tubes, fast road... the Roadeo has thinner tubes... Bomber trail bike... the Bombadil has the thickest. You factor in your body weight, what you want to carry and pick the bike that meets those needs. Diameter and wall thickness still matter... it's the other stuff that is less important. Although heat treating is important on thin tubes... on the rest it is inconsequential.
As most metallurgist's will tell you it's usually joints and manufacturing flaws that fail, not the parent material if it is designed correctly. ~mike Carlsbad Ca.
