1978 Raleigh Pro
I have a 1978 Raleigh Pro (I got from mkeller here) and was wondering about the tube set used on the Pro that year. I am at work so I can't post pictures but I was wondering if anyone knew the specific Reynolds 531 tubes set was used and what the listed buttings were? This is the non fast back version, looks like this:

My '78 is 531 butted (later known as 531c), and uses a 27.2 seatpost. So I don't think it's anything but Reynold's standard set and tubing thickness. It certainly isn't a light bike for a 531 frame.

Thanks for that! Mine is A 24 1/2" frame. Think the top would still be 8/5/8 or perhaps thicker because of the size? (TWSS)
