Hi and happy Thanksgiving!

I'm looking at a frameset made (according to the sticker) with Reynolds 531 Professional tubing. I have noticed various types of 531 in the past, but never the "professional" tube set. Was the Professional tube set common? This is a Peugeot frameset made in the eighties I'm guessing.

Does anyone have an idea as to the differences between it and say the "competition" tube set? Lighter, stronger, heavier?

Thanks,
