Yeah I think we should not dismiss heavier tubing just because they are not the top of the line.
I actually think that a 753 or a Columbus Air or even SL or SLX are NOT top of the line for certain applications like touring or even daily commute (= some abuse)
In fact I love my Moser in Aelle just because of that, makes commuting and daily (= not racing) duties much better as it handles the bumps a lot better than a stiffer tubing.

@The_Kindness_of_Trees yeah man these things happen to be fair and dont feel the need to show anger but I suppose I do have a responsibility now to make any potential buyer aware, tis only right!
I'm not all that fussed if I dont sell it for what I paid as I could always just use it towards another project - I'll be building a beater fixie for when I go to South Africa later this year so this'll atleast be a nice looking beater and I wont have any guilt as it's not sacrilege as such!¬
The reason I ask about Lime green is cus there's a Geoffery Butler going on the bay atm ,correct size, reynolds 500 so backing up what a few have recomended on the previous page re heavier/more durable tubing (?)
I would also ideally like to build a bright coloured frame up with black components but for the life of me cant think of any old Shimano, or Campag, that came in balck?
