And in Columbus land, seeing as I am not very heavy and presumably not very "demanding" (whatever that means) I can choose SL over Cromor?
Might be a price issue though mind you, I'll find out next week.

EDIT: They don't seem to make SL anymore, but supposedly there is plenty left in the market?

Oh, and lugged versus welded. Do I care? Should I?
.

there are some SL tubesets available to builders but i don't think that there is a
builder that will suggest you SL for commuting at your size.

try to be more accurate about your needs to your builder.
At 52 you can achieve low weight and stiffness just choosing proper tubes
and lugs, not paying much.

If it's not a matter of cost, just ask for a mix of steel that resist corrosion,
at 52 you will notice more differences depending the builder than the tubeset.

prefer welded only if you don't like lugs or you like the looks of OS tubing.
You can even ask for welded standard tubes at 52 (OS headtube) but i think
that will give you more flex than any other.

Typically weights at 52 are close to 1600gr with SL, i don't think that you
be much heavier even if you choose the worst tubeset available.

A proper briefing to your builder will give you the most i think.
