Hi all; can anyone give a year for the introduction of 531c tubing? Or point me to a site with Reynolds info or timeline? I know there are several styles of decals (for 531c), mine is probably the earliest. Here is a pic: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Freeks-racefietsen . The forks have shield decals, not triangular; they just say '531 fork blades'.

Thanks for any help!

Nick at Lloyd's may be a good source for an accurate dating of the introduction of those designations (c and st). I'm guessing about 1985 maybe? That would have roughly coincided with the 50th Anniversary decals if I'm correct.... Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan http://www.bicycleclassics.com
