I dug up this thread because I just got a Peugeot with these same decals and I was hoping to figure out what it means. Can any of our French speakers or Reynolds 531 experts shed some light on this? Near as I can tell (from Google Translate), the main tubing decal is saying "three tubes butted, bases and rising" which sounds to me like it is saying the main tubes are butted Reynolds 531 and the stays are non-butted but still Reynolds 531? I guess that makes sense but it seems like an awful lot of detail to provide. Are the stays ever butted? And then there's the fork decal. What does the "S.O" mean?
