Question-
Does a Raleigh International have all the tubes butted 531, or just the main tubes?

butted seat stays or chainstays. >>
Wasn't there a bit of a "to do" about this many years ago? So much so that Reynolds changed their decals from..."Double Butted Tubes, Forks and Stays......" to a more precise....."Forks, Stays, and Double Butted Main Tubes"?
