Julius, Who made Tru-Wel tubing? Based on the name and weight comparison you sent, it would _seem_ to be something akin to Columbus Cromor or Reynolds 501; that is, a high quality seamed tube. Frankly, some very nice frames have been built from those materials, as well as similar stuff from Vitus. But it's possible that in certain situations, a frame built from this sort of material could be too stiff. Regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia, USA
