Hello Everyone -
Dimensions of the main tubes for 531P and 531C are in the 1984 Trek
Brochure, (Racing) page 2,
http://www.vintage-trek.com/
A week ago I complained to fellow Trek owner, Chris Clement, that I couldn't find much info on the web about 531 vs 531C vs 531P. He politely referred me to the above page (AND kindly refrained from calling me disparaging names :-)
cheers,
