I would like this incredibly knowledgable forum to help me form a little database about steel tubing. I believe the different numbers (531, 653, etc) refer to materials in the steel alloy? But what of their qualities? How would a 531ST differ in ride to an identical frame made from 531AT or 753? Some are heat treated. Why is this done?
Also, what are the other manufactures' equivelants? Which Columbus tubing would be the same as 531, 853 etc.
Threads stick around longer in this forum and I think certain tubesets are only for the road such as 653 and 753. I may be wrong and look forward to your expert input!
Thanks all!
