A silly question of course, because there were so many gauges over the years. However, in the early days, let's say 1970, I believe that fewer choices were available.
In those days, I heard an unconfirmed rumor that a standard Reynolds frame would be little bit lighter than a standard Columbus (SP?) frameset with the same geometry and lugs. therefore, of course, reynolds was supposed to be "better" (no flames, please.) Anyway, can anyone confirm or deny this rumor ??
Also, what's the lighted lugged 531 frameset (531c?) that could ever be had, what is the weight (or a guestimate), for a generic size like 56cm, including frameset and fork (in 531 of course) ?? How much below 6 lbs could it get ??
