A spray shop shot here. The track frame in the foreground ( I think this frame will be in Japan soon ) is built with Reynolds oversize tubing although hard to see in the picture is quite a noticeable increase in tubing diameter and is built with cast lugs.This tubing is becoming very popular indeed and to my eye has given the frame that modern look/feel. The tubing helps stiffen the frame without adding to much in the way of weight and the lugs are very nice indeed although only available in the plain look at the moment.

Hi, very nice would it be possible to order a Mercian Audax with 120mm rear spacing and track ends with oversized tubing? Is it the toptube which is oversized? Please advise? Much appreciated Gary Knight.
Hi Gary
The Audax is only available as a road frame. You will need to upgrade to the Vigorelli which normally is built 120mm . It can be built with oversize tubing which will include the top and down tube.
Thanks
