Is that all Zona is...just seamless 4130? Zona has a higher tensile strength and is typically butted more aggressively.
An 853 main triangle bike can have the same butting profile as a 631 main triangle. The higher level tubing doesnt necessarily make it lighter or ride better.
Zona can build up a frame with short butted 7/5/7 top and down tubes, 8/6 seat tube, 7 chainstays(or 8/6 s bend), and .7 16ga seat stays. I dont see much generic 4130 with that setup.
