Reynolds 753 tubeset

The art is in being able to do it at low temperatures, otherwise you reverse the heat treatment and have some very pricey 531.

If you begin building this tubeset into a frame please do a build thread here so we can follow up!

It will be interesting to see a 753 frame in the making!

And very thin 531 too

I'm going to have a chat with a local frame builder/repairer mid week. I reckon with the experience I've already got I could put one together.. It won't be SBDU though hahaha

If it doesn't work out though, that would be a terrible shame. Both expensively and waste of a pretty rare (these days) tubeset

I've had a chat with the builder, and he's happy to let me have a go at silver solder up some scrap tubes/lugs. See how I get on with that

Won't Reynolds be on your back if you don't go through their Certification?

I'm pretty sure it's 'optional', for instruction only

So here's the full kit - with this I also got a set of Campagnolo ends and full Prugnat lug/BB set
