Really? Where does it say that? One would think that if a company were offering a Reynolds 953 -- a material that is stronger than titanium, corrosion-resistant and ****ing EXPENSIVE -- frame for under $1000, or for that matter, under $2000, they would have a big red flashing banner shouting "REYNOLDS NINE-FIFTY-****ING-THREE!!!!," rather than an ambiguous "REYNOLDS STEEL IMPORTED FROM THE UK."
