Perhaps, at one extreme we might have a perspective that only bicycle designers have the knowledge and experience to think about frame tubing, and the buyer should choose the frame simply on the basis of what the designer proclaims about about his design intent. At another extreme, we might have the buyer educating himself to a point where he feels satisfied that he can specify his tubing for the builder to use and achieve the desired riding characteristics. Somewhere in the middle, it seems reasonable that a buyer could actually understand some of the general impacts of changes in diameter and lighter versus heavier tubes, and do his own experiments.
For example, as a relatively small guy, I have experimented over the years to learn that smaller diameter, lighter tubes feel better to me for my non camping rides. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
