It's not a 753 frame. I think that's a typo. 853 is more likely. On Dec 22, 3:21 pm, drcycl...@gmail.com drcycl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone,       I am selling my 56.5 cm Burnt Orange All Rounder.  It comes with a shimano 600 headset and downtube barrel adjusters.  This frame is in great

In rampant speculation mode, I would be really surprised if Riv ever specced 853 for a lugged bike. But I am just guessing. I did think that they were using 753 early on in their US production mode. Chris, you have any particular reasoning on this? Tarik On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 9:52 AM,

Jim, As it is snowing hard and I am one of 3 people in my building right now, I don't remember 853 ever havbing a certification on it. It is airhardening, but it has been used pretty successfully for lugged frames, You don;t get the hardening benefit, but it still is prettuy high quality steel

I remember reading somewhere that the current Rivendell frames (that are built at Waterford) use a combination of Reynolds 725 and True Temper OX platinum tubing. I don't know about earlier frames like the All-rounder though. On Dec 23, 1:35 pm, cyclotourist cyclotour...@gmail.com wrote: On

My apologies. Even my Waterford-built All-Rounder (the first one ever sold) is 753. Somehow it never clicked that my frame was made of that rare and elusive tubeset: http://www.adventurecorps.com/chronicles/bikes/rivendell/pages/IMG_1653.html On Dec 23, 4:15 pm, Jason Hartman
