I was watching a couple new old stock 531 sets a couple weeks ago that went for only a tad over $100.
What the deal with this particular set? It is the fact that it includes the original technical papers that makes is particularly special? Or just a couple bidders willing to go all-out to have it?
That is really cool, I never would have guessed they were packaged like that. The back of the box shows that the stays are in fact, not butted... that gets brought up from time to time.
So would this have been a higher quality "set" since it includes a steer tube? I was under the impression that many mass producers did not use reynold's steer tubes all of the time.
