I think this is invaluable.Thing is it’s a custom built frame, unless you have it with original paint and decals or some historical photos showing the tubing decal then you will struggle to tell much difference from one steel pipe to another sadly.
Overburys, like other frame builders will also have used what they had at the time, was available to them or what was specced by the customer but the majority of tubing used by them was Columbus cromor which seemed to be their preferred choice with the exception of one or two frames with Reynolds 531, what we are saying is just because the dropouts say Reynolds doesn’t mean the tubing is..... Hell, it might be tange

Does this image not show the use of a roller for the front mech, a question posed in another thread.....?
Also, didnt this model make use of tubing intended for front forks and utilised for use of the rear chainstays...? This would be the conformation that Columbus Cromor/OR is the tubing choice for the rear end, and the main frame given the lack of MAX evident in the main triangle like Mark has mentioned.
