What Tubing is this?
I really like the look of old school, thin (compared to current product) tubing. What size are the tubes on this Bruce Gordon frame?

It looks like pre-OS standard sized tubing.
Seat Tube: 28.6 mm O.D.
Down Tube: 28.6 mm O.D.
Top Tube: 25.4 mm O.D.
Head Tube: 30.2 mm O.D.
It's impossible to tell from looking at the photo what O.D., cross-section, and taper the stays are.

I was the first and only American to exhibit.
I was honored to win first prize in its catagory - especially because of the caliber of the other exhibitors, including Nagasawa, Toei, etc.
It is 10 Speed Dura Ace Equipped,
with Rack, Fenders, and Lights
Seat Tube (center to center) - 54cm
Top Tube - 56cm
Stem Length - 11cm
The frame is built with Traditional Reynolds 531 tubing
1" top tube, 1 1/8" down tube and 16mm seatstays.
And if you are interested it is for sale for $7000
There are other Show bikes for sale at my page at:
