Can anyone offer any thoughts on possible differences in riding characteristics between 531 and 753. My early 80s Italian made Masi uses 753, I`m told. A gentleman at Reynolds also told me that they were supplying Masi with 753 at that time. It feels light, with nice springyness over bumps, and smooths out at speed like a thoroughbread. I don`t have much experience riding on 531. Wondering how that heat treating may affect the ride as compared.
Thanks,
