I vote keep too.
Don't know where you read that but it's incorrect :-From what I’ve read 2080 is Reynolds 753?
I’ve maybe quoted what I read incorrectly, wisdom of the internet not always factual!Don't know where you read that but it's incorrect :-
2080 is 85tons tensile tubing (source DynaTech catalogue), 753 is 75tons tensile prior to brazing and 65tons tensile after (source Reynolds tubes own data sheet).
Completely agree, though this one is paid for with funds from this approach on previous stuff so I’ve got a bit of slack with it!The Mavic headsets do look lovely and no doubt perform well. It is an instinct of mine to take of one valuable part off the bike and sell it to pay for the rest of it. But if it’s a quality item then you should keep it
That's why I cited my sources!I’ve maybe quoted what I read incorrectly, wisdom of the internet not always factual!
I would like to know more thats interesting.That's why I cited my sources!
Incidentally I was talking to a chap who used to assemble the bonded Dynatech frames and - according to him - Raleigh had to abandon them due to Health & Safety issues with the adhesives used.
Anyone else heard that? Perhaps it explains why the Dynatech name lived on but the bonded lugs didn't.
Raleigh have been quite inconsistent and confusing about this. Personally, I don’t think they’re exacty comparable as the Reynolds tube sets (531, 753 etc) refer to distinct specifications; wall thickness, butting etc, and not just the metallurgy.Don't know where you read that but it's incorrect :-
