High-Ten Steel
I have read several articles on frame materials including Sheldon Brown without finding the answer to my question. Probably have just passed over the obvious. What is High-Ten Steel (label on Schwinn)? :confused:

A fancy-sounding name for the ordinary tubing used to build cheap bicycle frames.
