Listers,

Here is the response from the seller regarding the frame tubing.

According to the seller, this frame is all-531 ("11 tubing"), and a step below the top-of-the-line "Team Pro" frames with chrome on both forks and stays. Based on what I read recently here, this frame would

be of equivalent quality to my Raleigh Pro Mk IVs. Based on Larry's and others' descriptions of the post-Mark IV Pro "W" frames here, this frame would both fit me and ride better than my Mk IVs.

I am a bit surprised that some on this list seem quick to dismiss a production frame like this as not very good, or words to that effect.

is there not a place of honor and respect for these Raleighs, PX-10s,

and other non-Confente, non-"team pro," and non-ethereal frames that have given so many riders so many great miles? All I want to do is ride a bike that I love....

Jon Spangler (who can't afford this frame in any case in Alameda, CA USA)
