i'm just curious....seeing the IH Porter, and the Turner Rail, both frames being 5" or less with 1.5 headtubes, does a headtube with reducers become stronger than a gusseted headtube?
are there any real numbers on this? just curious. if it does, why don't frame manufacturers utilitize a 1.5 with reducers installed?
