I believe the name "Reynolds" throws a lot of Americans. Reynolds Metals Company was a huge aluminum packaging producer (aluminum foil) that merged with ALCOA (Aluminum Company of America) in 2000, so many Americans think anything with the name "Reynolds" is aluminum.
I've seen lots of eBay bicycle listings with Reynolds 531, 631, 753, 853, etc., frames where the frame material is erroneously listed as "aluminum"...
