As per title, where can I see a difference in my tubes (3.5) vs a regular 3, surely there is an extra tube or different routing of tubes to achieve 15% more stiffnes

The most obvious one is at the back just behind the drivers seat. The 3.5 goes /|\ whereas the 3 only has |\ there's no third one.

So here's one of my old 3.5, you can see the 3 we're talking about on the right side of the pic:

Whereas on this pic of the recent Atom 3 for sale, you can see it's missing the rearward one (I've drawn it in yellow).
