Raleigh Dyna-Tech Pro

well if it‘s plain gauge it’ll be lighter, not heavier as it hasn’t needed thicker reinforced ends, thanks to the Dynatech process

Not necessarily. Depends on gauge and length of the butts. Plain gauge 531 is heavier than 531 double butted.

I think we’ve established that it’s super-thin 753 tubing…?
the point being that Dynatech bonding negates the *need* for butting, so the tubes can be really thin throughout

Er no, unless Ive misread something? @KermitGKona88 may know conclusively

There’s Hilarys info. And this catalog I linked to earlier. Scroll down to the Pro frameset. It states “(~Reynolds753)”

Got it I notice they use 531 and 653 also. Is this a comparison or were they made using said tubes?

That is the question. I wonder if they’re not ‘exactly‘ comparable, hence Raleigh seldomly mentioning it in their adverts.

Clear as mud

Agreed, If you need to save 100 grams have a poo

Would 200 grams make it double-butt-ed!?

Whatever its made of, its going to be a lovely bike. I have always liked them. If I buy one another bike, my wife's going to jam it in my arse
