To be honest I know people who build track frames from plain gauge for the extra strength, they claim the increased stiffness is a good trade off for a bit of extra weight, but I agree a road frame would be crazy in plain gauge especially considering the cost of butted tubesets in this country (although I think Charge build mainly from plain gauge looking at their other products so it may just be a case of what they keep in stock).
