953 is a steel that is mainly produced to reduce weight and as such is even lighter in large diameter tubes. Ive had 3 frames in 953 and they seemed to have larger dia tubes than this one. But perhaps there is smaller dia tubes available in 953 aswell. I dont know Reynolds specs that well so i asked..
Looks wise i prefer smaller diameter tubes so its all good. Im just wondering if theres a significant weight savings on the smaller dia tubes over say 853.
