The tubes are thicker at the ends than in the middle.
In basically means the frame will be lighter.

The 'walls' of the tubes are thicker at the ends. You'll see no difference externally.
The ends of the tubes are more highly stressed and in the case of aluminium, it also compensates for the loss of strength in the welding process.
