I am in the market for a quality high performance frame that is made
of anything reasonable other than the current rage, Columbus SL
tubing. My frame size of 57cm is on the borderline between the
use of lightweight tubing(SL) and the heavier weights(Reynolds 531,
Columbus SP). Since I would like to keep the bike a few years I
am opting for the 531 variety(my 1969 Peugot PX10 is still holding
up, though its angles are poor for HP). Also, I have had my share
of spaghetti bikes, i.e. those both made in Italy and with Columbus
SL tubing, and have experienced all sorts of problems, most
noteworthy were there lack of stiffness, better known as the old
wet noodle.
My question is this: does anyone have a line on a reasonably
priced($300-500) stock or custom frame made of Reynolds 531
tubing. You can post replies to the net or mail me directly
at ihnp4!druxj!bhilden.
Thanks,
Bruce Hildenbrand
