Re: Dawes Horizon frame - steel or aluminium

Is it not the case that the lugs may well indicate that the frame was not welded - therefore could well be 531?
i am not sure but I thought that 520 could be welded, and therefore, cheaper to make.
even the uni-crown fork is not a certainty as to chro-mo. I have some uni-crown forks on an old Dawes that still have a 531 sticker on them - very confusing.
BTW i don't think that alu frames would be lugged.
good luck - it looks like a nice bike from the picture
