Reynolds tubing

853, 621, 725, 525, 753, 531....
Can any of you tell me what the difference is?
Lighter? More Durable? ...?

Also, what would the best tubing an a 1980's road/track frame be?

You can find out all about what differentiates their tubing.

Oh, and I may be wrong, but I think you can find 753 in the 80s. Certainly 531.
