The 980 series always corresponds to a steel of type XC35 in the image of the 971 with a thinning of the tubes to still lighten the whole (one passes from 0.6mm to 0.5mm)
"Ateliers de la Rive, a company based on the outskirts of St Etienne, France, started making tubes in 1931. In the early post WW2 years their premium tubing was called Rubis, and widely used by French quality frame builders. Around this time Urago, in Nice, started using DURIFORT - the tubing maker's base set of plain gauge tubing for their "Debutante" model, and "Vitus" a lighter double-buted set, for their better frames, alongside Reynolds 531DB."
