"Oversized" tubing isn't oversized at all to anyone who hasn't been around bikes for 25-or-so years. To those newer to cycling "oversized tubing" and "clipless pedals" are equally bizarre terms. Both refer to what they've always seen as the norm.
Anyway, my comment about referring to "traditional" size tuding as "undersized" was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
