Skinny tubes?

I think I would really like the look of a no frills frame with skinniest tubes as available.. Can anyone point me in some direction where to start the search? Cheers, oli

Skinny? As in a regular steel frame?

Road frame? Track frame?

The majority of steel frames made up until the early nineties will be "skinny" still frames.

Try searching "steel bike frame" on ebay.

If you are looking for skinny tubies (tubulars) - Tufo makes 700x18, as does Dugast. I ride the Tufo's on the local velodrome - they are very nice fast tires. If you want clinchers, Vitt, Conti, Veloflex, and Tufo all make 700x20.

Whoa, should have specified a bit. Meant metal tubing like 531 etc. is it always the standard 1 inch diameter tubing as older steel or can you get skinnier?
I wonder if it would be an interesting project to source skinnier tubes from somewhere and produce a frame with those.

there are some TT colnagos with skinnier tubes, they not use the standar 1 inch.

i think thi is it, use a custom headset-stem, a 24 mm seatpos. columbus small section tubbing.

Make a whole frame out of seat stays.

You know you want to

ain't gonna get much skinner than that. Simple it ain't and you won't have much change left having spent 17k. But it has damn skinny tubes!

Thanks Erick, sounds nice but also must be very pricy.
I wonder what the chances are of one of those coming up while I have 2k spare in my pocket .. better start saving now.

I guess that is the main problem with making one - fitting the components.
tubes could be stretched out like funnels though. I feel like this will become an obsession. :S

And Yockto... that thing looks like braces with wheels.

Damn, that 'nago is pure porn. Too bad about the cracked quill, how does that happen anyway?

other possibly way it´s put some 700x30 tires, a big saddle (maybe a rolls) and two or three layers off handlebar tape.... that make looks skinny any steel tube set
