Hi, I'm interested in the Kaffenback frame from Planet-X. The Tubing is chromoly 4130 weighs about 4lbs and is available for £160. They don't say if it's double butted. How does this frame compare to (for example) Reynolds 531 or 631 and why is it so much cheaper than other 'cross frames? E.G. a Kona Jake the Snake which you can buy for around £400

It is. Basically it is a on-one pompino with vertical dropouts. Unless they have changed the design, the chainstays are to short for a crossbike
