Tre Tubi frames; how much are you giving up?
All this frame material stuff intrigues me. Kinda silly as I’m an old slow guy anyhow, but I enjoy the technical aspects of it all. Tre Tubi was a generalization, although I do have an Aelle Torpado in the lineup for sometime. It seems that most larger manufacturers have some frames with what is considered “good” tubing for the main triangle and lesser tubing for the rest.
It seems from posts that often owners still praise these bikes with “lesser” steel in the forks and rear triangle. So, if geometry and equipment are the same, how much is given up? I would think that there is more penalty than just a half pound of weight. Thoughts?
