KHS montana comp/team f+f - what's the difference?

[Anthony]

OX is Tange Prestige what AVR is to standard Tange DB
I think.

Yes, in other words OX is heat-treated, AVR isn't.

I'd be slightly surprised if the two frames weigh the same, but nevertheless it is the case that a designer can use the greater strength/weight factor of a heat-treated tubeset to make a stronger bike at the same weight, rather than the alternative of making an equally strong bike at a lighter weight.

The Team is lighter in weight from the comp frame and rides much better off road

I also assumed the team would be lighter but just going bodging what wadsy said. Perhaps they were different sized frames

Pretty good weight though for a steel framed bike at 23lb. I've just got one (literally in the last 5 minutes) and if I make 25lb I'll be happy.
