Reynolds, Tange, Columbus, Kaisei, Dedacciai, VariWall, and Nova all have tubing that varies in butt length, diameter, and gauge.
The product catalogs from Reynolds and Columbus are so extensive that its tough to keep all the options straight since each model has sub-models. Reynolds 853 has multiple variations. Columbus Zona has multiple variations and the stays have endless bend options. etc etc.
