There is something about those stainless lugs and tubes that I find irresistible.

How does stainless ride compared to Reynolds, Tange or Columbus? How does it compare weight wise? There probably not a lot of difference.

I discussed it with my local builder and he did say that there is little difference between non stainless butted steel and stainless in weight, ride and strength, The nicer tubesets like columbus xcr and reynolds 953 make lighter frames.
