The following weights come from a 1989 Colombus catalog for tubeset weighs:
EL (not OverSize) tubeset: 1670 EL-OS: 1800 PL: 1845
KL not listed....

So how does KL differ from the non-oversized version of EL?
The dimentions appear to be the same. In my experience,
non-oversized EL was just wonderful for a small rider - I weigh
less than 130 pounds. But it's "crashability" was somewhat
limited, which is why I suspect my frame was repaired with an
SL downtube.
