I have had an OS Boulder all road
.7/.4/.7 top tube
.8/.5/.8 down tube
Now I have a standard tubed Boulder all road
.8/.5/.8 top tube
.9/.6/.9 down tube.
Both are 61cm center to top. Both are as light a tubeset as Mike was
comfortable going with for the frame size and the rider (me ~170 lb.).
Both ride amazingly well. Yes, the plane ;-).
There are some possible subtle differences that might just be in my head since
I never rode them back to back so take this with a grain of salt.
The OS bike felt just a little more sure footed and maybe just a smidge
harsher. Not in a bad way. the standard bike feels a bit smoother and the
flex a bit more gradual. Hard to really describe. It still feels sure footed
but in a lighter touch sort of way that might take some brief getting used
to. Both are fantastic. I'd likely go standard tubed again in the same gauges
(not lighter) if I had to do it over, but you won't go wrong with either. Key
thing is to talk to Mike. He knows what he is doing and will steer you right.
