That is one giant blurb of marketing speak on that page. Not a single mention of tube sizes or any of the sort.

Now using Fairlight as an example.
  • Custom butted and formed Reynolds 853/853-DZB front triangle.
  • Custom 0.8/0.5./0.8 Reynolds 853 top tube. 20 x 30mm oval.
  • Custom 1.0/0.8/0.5/0.8 Reynolds 853 Gravel DZB (double zonal butted) down tube. 30 x 40mm bi-oval.
  • Custom formed 4130 rear end. 19mm round chainstays @ 0.9mm wall thickness. 14mm non-taper seat stays @ 0.8mm wall thickness.
