deda or columbus down tubes, reynolds are still too conservative with road tubeset wall thickness. Deda on all seasons, and columbus on R3. the columbus spirit tube is lighter, but can dent with a reasonable whack, which isnt suitable for the all seasons as it is supposed to be an audax ready, treat like shit while sleep deprived frameset.

853db on the Goat though?
I'm trying to decide whether my new gravellish frame should have a Spirit DT. Part of me says it's too fragile, part of me says dents form character.

The R3 would be perfect but doesn't have the option for mudguard mounts(does it?) and I want a bike I can use in the rain if needs be, and I hate getting wet feet.

I think Isen mostly use Reynolds and Deda downtubes, but there's only so many combinations of the available tubesets to go around. I'm in the process of ordering another couple of 38mm Spirit downtubes for my next build, and the last one had Max chainstays too.
