thanks for the reply. The % of elements indicate it is Cr-Moly 4130 steel, 1% Cr 0.2% Mo, is the major alloying elements giving the steel certain properties. In contrast, Reynolds 531 used Mangenese instead of Mo.
The 2 values are the yield stress (used to design the frame) and ultimate tensile strength (where it breaks). You can compare these values to other tubing manufacturers like Columbus, Reynolds, True Temper, Tange, etc. The higher value indicates a stronger steel.

Actually, the sticker mentioned above, and that same sticker on my Sam, are recent developments; I was surprised to find it when the frame arrived. Grant has in fact repeatedly stressed the unimportant of specific tubing in a frame; however, he does seem proud of these proprietary tubes.
I like the science-year feel I get from seeing the sticker on my frame, but I confess the percentages mean very little to me.
