  Reynolds 531 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reynolds 531 is a brand name, registered to Reynolds Cycle Technology of Birmingham in the United Kingdom for a manganese-molybdenum medium carbon steel bicycle tubing.
The approximate alloying composition for 531 is 1.5% Mn, 0.25% Mo, 0.35% C, and is similar to the old British BS970 En 16/18 steel.
Its mechanical properties and response to heat-treatment are broadly similar to the AISI 4130 standard alloy steel, also used for bicycle frames, amongst other applications.

 Reynolds
It can also be cold set (bent about) unlike top tubing like Reynolds 753, which means that if you want to widen the rear width years after the frame is made there is no problem, and no fancy construction techniques are needed to build or repair it.
To solve this weakness 531 st has a heavier gauge down tube which resists the flexing which causes the dreaded speed wobbles on a loaded tourer.
Reynolds replacements will all be racing tubesets, once again the tourist will be out in the cold.

 Reynolds Bicycle Tubing - Peyto - 853, 725, 531, Reynolds, Steel, Bicycle, Heat, Treated, Air, Tubing
Reynolds steel bicycle tubing is an innovative, high performance steel bicycle tube set.
This unique air hardening property of Reynolds 853 provides additional stiffness through reduced microyielding at the joints, allowing stiffer frames with excellent fatigue strength (when compared to standard chrome molybdenum) and a superior ride quality from the finished frame.
Reynolds recommend 725 or 631 forks for use with 725 road and touring frames.

 School me on Columbus tubing, specifically Columbus SL
Reynolds frames seem to provide more of the 'lively' feel that one associates with 'steel', whereas Columbus SL/SP/SLX tend to have a very 'predictable', solid feel.
Looking back at it all, and comparing the Reynolds bikes I had back then (and still ride now) vs the Columbius frames of then and now, I think we were also young guys with unfounded opinions and we were mostly full of ****.
Reynolds, Columbus, Ishiwata, Super Vitus (and that mysterious butted 'Gas Pipe' that Fuji used on their Finest/Newest/Ace/Pro) - itz all good (Don't believe I;ve ever owned anything made of Tange nor ever ridden anything made of Falk - at least knowingly).

These alloys have the extra strength of heat treatment, the ductility of a non-heat-treated steels as well as the flexibility to be both silver-brazed and tig-welded.
Reynolds of England used a variation on this using molybdenum and manganese, called Reynolds 531.
Reynolds 531 quickly became the world standard for bicycle race tubing.

Reynolds 631 is 853 without the heat treatment and produces a very lively frame without any harshness in the ride quality.
All the Reynolds tubes are supplied in a range of diameters and gauges thus allowing Dave to choose an appropriate tube for each area of the frame.
Reynolds 853 is Dave’s current favourite and by selecting the correct tubes a sub 4lb frame can be built which compares very favourably with aluminium.

Races in any of these categories may take the form of mass-start events or time trials.
Reynolds, currently known as TI/Reynolds, is an old and very highly regarded maker of bicycle tubing.
They pioneered the techniques of making butted tubing around the turn of the century, and their 531 (say "five, three, one") manganese-molybdenum alloy tubing was the standard of excellence for many decades.

 Mig welding 531 Reynolds - 'BentRider Online Forums
As far as 531 tubing, well, I would still like to know what about it that makes it MIG intolerant.
The reasoning behind my question had more to do with the 'dangers' of welding 531, as in: I carry the assumption[rightly or wrongly] that the metal will become very hard round the edges of the weld, becoming very brittle and thus being vulnerable to cracking under stress.
531 is steel, so it can't be that exotic.

I got into bikes a little late to purchase a new raleigh, and when i did have the cash for a bike the company had changed hands, so i ended up with a Bob Jackson 753 which i love.
Im curious If anyone has ridden both 753 and 531 and what their thoughts are.
In each case the tubing as such is much less the defining feature of the ride as the design and purpose to which the bike is put.

These tests demonstrate that in torsion, tension and bending, a tube that has an S and S Bicycle Torque Coupling installed will be stiffer than a plain section of Reynolds 531 bicycle tube.
Each test compares a 4 inch section of Reynolds 531 tube to a 4 inch section of Reynolds 531 with an S and S Bicycle Torque Coupling installed.
In each fixture a single load is applied to both test sections simultaneously so that the force is equal in both samples being compared.
