    The difference will be more determined by the builder than the materials per se - it depends a lot on the selection of tube sizes and gauge (thickness) and whether they suit you as a rider. Both materials are equally as stiff - but a larger diameter tube will be stiffer than a thin one that uses the same wall-thickness. The only frame I can find online that uses Deda HTS is the Casati Laser - a quality frame from a great builder.

    Thanks for that, i am going to Brian Rourkes on Monday for a frame fit and noticed on the website that they build in the Deda HTS as well as all th Reynolds tubesets. I`ve more or less decided on the 853 Proteam for my Audax bike but wondered about the Deda. Thanks once again.

    Why not ask Mr. Rourke? I would think that the builder would be the best person to ask. Especially one with such a good reputation as he has.
