Not really. My old Lemond Zurich was 853 Reynolds
<http://www.torchandfile.com/TUBING_c_49.html>, specifically designed
to be tigged. All the aluminum Canondales are tigged. That was even a
selling point at one time--no heavy lugs! That said, living in a
third-floor walk-up and owning a Clementine, I'm pretty sure the Clems
are not 853. I think the OP will probably like the Clem, because it's
a likeable bike.

Isn't that thicker on the ends thing called "butting"? And isn't it a
good thing? Butted tubing was used for brazing with lugs, too -- long
before TIG welding bicycles was a thing.
