Hey all,

Did Reynolds make a tubing called "4130"? This Ebay seller claims that this Raleigh touring bicycle has such a label. I thought 4130 was just the SAE designation for any seamless Chrome Molly tubing? I looked in a mid '80s Reynolds catalogue and didn't see any tubing with that designation.

This is a curious bike. Looks like an English made bicycle, with Carlton style "shot-in" (what we call fast back) seat stays. I would guess this was made about 1980 since it has spoke reflectors and 14 speeds (hence the name)?
