Reynolds Cr-Mo Tubsets

[Brian73]

Picked up a Claud Butler Strada Road Bike with this Tubeset. I think it's 1990s vintage.

Any ideas when Reynolds started using these Cr-Mo double butted seamless tubes with this sticker?

How does it compare to the other Reynolds stuff?

Double butted seamless seems quite good to me.

Cheers

I think Reynolds Cr-Mo is variously known as 500, 501, 520 and 525 (correct me if I'm wrong). Never seen this sticker before, but there does seem a plethora of different tube permutations and accompanying stickers.

Got an e-mail from Reynolds

Hello Brian,

Although your decal is not shown on our decal history, I would guess the tubing was made pre 1989 as around 1991 Reynolds started giving our Cr-Mo numbers e.g. 501/525 etc.

Regards,

Keith.

The strike through logo was used 1989-1994 so I guess it's a 1989-1990 model.
