Any info would be appreciated. I thought it was all generic CroMo.

Yes, older Cross-Checks were 631. They also had 1" forks.

If you want a frame similar to the Cross Check but made from Reynolds 631 tubing, check out the Soma Double Cross (http://www.somafab.com/frames.html).

I have one and have been delighted with it.
