Reynolds c.1990 Constructors Tube Guide — Every Tube Set and Its Gauges on One Page

A folded two-face sheet from TI Reynolds 531 Limited, printed for the Italian market and bilingual throughout in English and Italian. One face is a photographic cover under the line Energy Efficient Technology; the other is the Constructors Tube Guide, a single table giving every tube set in the range with its material and its wall gauges tube by tube.

That table is the reason to hold it. Eighteen sets are listed in one place — 753, 708, 653, 531 Competition, 531 Super Tourist, 525, 525 Triathlon, 501 double butted, 501 single butted and 500, then the five All Terrain sets, then the three Magnum sets — each with material given as Mn Mo or Cr Mo and gauges for top tube, down tube, seat tube, head tube, fork, seat stay, chain stay and steering column. Nothing else in this group states the whole range on one page.

Dating. The sheet is undated. It carries the TI Reynolds 531 Limited imprint at P.O. Box 765 with telephone 021-706 5151 and fax 021-707 0081, the same imprint as the set leaflets elsewhere in this collection, and the copy claims over 90 years of experience, which places it no earlier than 1988. It lists 708 rather than 700, and it carries the New Magnum All Terrain Range, which appears in the 1990 Product Range but not the 1988 one. It also refers to our new transfers. About 1990 follows. A code at the foot reads 22/190 Pentad.

The distributor panel is worth noting for anyone tracing how Reynolds tube reached the Continent: Newman Distributors of Redditch and Manchester, and Milan International Commerce of Rescaldina, Milan, contact Mr A Colombo.

The sheet reached the Ebykr collection through the National Cycle Archive in partnership with the Veteran-Cycle Club, whose courtesy card is the first page of the source file. That card is not reproduced here.

ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY

[A photograph of a rider on the drops in silhouette against a dusk sky, the frame picked out in glowing pink line so that the tubing reads as the only lit object in the picture.]
