Hi
my old 531c bike is knackered beyond repair and i am looking to replace it with another steel steed
i have the oppertunity to get a 531c built to spec and delivery is quite quick, only 3 to 4 weeks
but for a few $$$ extra i can get a new stock frame m size in reynolds 753 with carbon forks from a very reputible frame builder
any ideas on the 753, i have never rode one, how does it compare with 531c
is it true that 753 is more prone to rust ?
i like the idea of 753 but then i know exactly what i will be getting with the 531c, so just now i am undecided but need to make a decision within a couple of days
many thanks
