Vintage Reynolds 531 standard-gauge double-butted tubesets now available!
These are NOS from 1974, and were properly stored indoors after being coated with Cosmolene, so there are no condition problems. Includes all eleven tubes to build a road frameset. Top tubes are .8/.5/.8, seat tubes are .8/.5, down tubes are .9/.6/.9 mm. Fork blades are the early "Imperial Oval" (29 x 16) size, and are pre-raked for about 40 mm or so of finished fork rake. Chainstays are round-oval-round, non-indented, 22 mm at the BB end. We are currently the 531 tubing supplier to several framebuilders around the world that produce some great frames with brand names like Grand Bois and several others.
