I’ll be blunt. The best riding bikes I have are made with 531 tubing. I also have bikes with Columbus SL, SP, and KL, TruTemper, Tange 2, various varieties of Chromoly, and of course Peugeot’s “cadre allégé” and Carbolite tubing. They can make nice bikes with all of those metals, but 531 is magical.
