(1/2) > >>

dwain dibbly:
ive been doing some digging and it appears that my quad
is an early "reynolds style" frame. but the first ones were actually
made from  4130 chromoly.
how can i tell the difference?? ?? ??

Waxintaxin:
weight i guess

zed4130:
reynolds must be lighter than cromo 'as why arnt more road racers made from cromo ? is cromoly stronger  than reynolds ?  :-\

Waxintaxin:
reynolds is specifficaly made for bikes , more spring appaerently stronger pound for pound that cro mo
