I should really start a thread on this. I suppose I'm not 100% certain on the ability to finance the project yet & don't want to look like a right berk :-(
Doesnt bother me. Its not like I'm filling the thread with own updates ;)
I'm not sure ovalising stiffens anything as such. Its more of a case of allowing a DT larger than both HT and BB shell. Yet still being able to wield it.
I also think that tube length is as important a consideration, as rider weight. I may not be much lighter than you. But nearly all my tubes are a decent percentage shorter.
In terms of my project. I havent heard much for a while. I did recieve a new seatpost clamp, and chainstay protector though. So its still moving.
