Thank you for your insight 'torqueless', I appreciate your contribution.

Thank you 'originalshinkicker' for your contribution. My frame is painted now but when I strip it, I'll measure the tube diameters. Then perhaps, I'll get a better idea of what I have.

I believe that the heat treating the 753 tubes underwent made the tubes very stiff and perhaps too brittle to be cold set.

I was thinking 531p (professional) after a little more research but if you (hamster) are correct about the 753 stays then it can't be. I have not been able to find any information about when 531p was introduced. Does anyone watching have a clue?

Thanks 'hamster' and 'glpinxit'. I've already 'cold set' the frame for a modern width hub so it is definitely not Reynolds 753 because it can't be 'cold set'. glpinxit - based on your frame, I have a suspicion that my 60cm frame would appear to be too light for 531c.

Is there anyone with the information to help me discover if my light, steel, '70s frame is Reynolds 531c (competition); Reynolds 531sl (super light) or some other lightweight steel? (I don't know much about CIOCC frames but could it in fact be one of those?) I had the frame stripped and...
