ewwww, gross.
-
If it is custom or for you then I think it is fine, but with isen we have to just work on worst case useage scenarios for everything, as we wont know who is going to use it, and how, so need to be belt and braces.

Don't think stones would fuck it, but its the falling off/man handling/ leaning against other bikes that does for them.

Never used the plain guage stuff but assume it would be fine. They brought out a anti dent variant last year, but have never been able to actually supply it. I'd just use Reynolds if you think yiu might smack it.

It can do, its one of the optional extras, we made a kit to make any thru axle fork run guards. Drop us an email and fenella can run you through it.

yeah, main triangle on goat is 853, none of the columbus stuff is hard enough for a mtb in my experieince. Dents do form character, but creases propogate cracks.

deda or columbus down tubes, reynolds are still too conservative with road tubeset wall thickness. Deda on all seasons, and columbus on R3. the columbus spirit tube is lighter, but can dent with a reasonable whack, which isnt suitable for the all seasons as it is supposed to be an audax ready, treat like shit while sleep deprived frameset.
spendy though, if only because you have to order a fair amount. If your after small bits, try metals4u, either stainless if your welding, or the mild if it is for your personal bike. All my kids bikes stays are made of mild or 316 10mm from metals4u, as i cant bring myself to use the T45.
