It's the name given by the Reynolds company to a particular alloy of their steel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_531 -- - Frank Krygowski |

Here, there are like 100 such girls for every one 40+yo lycra guy with all the gadgets, thinking he is the most important guy on the planet. She on the other hand probably knows absolutely nothing of bikes except how to ride it. When everything brakes because of abuse and lack of maintenance, she will not care one bit, except for when it brakes to the point that she cannot use it - then there will be sudden PANIC because how will she now get to the university, shop for clothes, her boyfriend, etc.??? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Since the components are also foreign I suppose this chapter of our industrial history has been mythologized as well. http://cykelhistoriska.se/old/pepitalista.html Amazing the keep track of everything! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

It would be a fun game to track just how foreign it is. In the bike mags they often ridicule the guys who have their "own bike brand" and say, "own bike brand, yeah right, what it is is an unpainted carbon frame from Asia and now they have put their own sticker on it and expect us to be impressed". This could be a great provocative article saying Crescent also did that, sort of, while in their ad playing the "Swedish card" with all the familiar methods This will probably provoke like 100 guys to reply, "there is nothing wrong using foreign parts yada yada yada". Another aspect is, they used 531 for their pro models. Tho the one on the poster is one, the purpose of the ad is not to sell pro models but bikes for the commuters. So then one wonders, did they use domestic steel for those, or foreign as well, only not as good/expensive as 531? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
