How do you tell if its steel? I have an ancient Gios' date=' blue with chromed lugs and a pinned head tube badge. Not sure if its steel, but it sure is heavy. I'm looking for a 7 speed cluster for it (See 7 speed cluster thread).[/quote']

 

If it still has it's original paint job then there should be a sticker on the seat tube saying if it is Reynolds or Coumbus tubing. If it is ancient enough then it will say "chromoly"

 

Cool, thanks. Still has its original paintjob. I'll check it out tonight.

 

Ok, so checked the bike out last night. No identifying stickers saying chromoly or any such. I did put a magnet to it and it stuck, so its definitely not aluminium.

My only road bike, gets out every few years.

Trek 430, about 13 years old... and its got the only surviving example of a 7 speed STI! Can still do a sub 3 Argus though...

 

 

 

My next bike will be an Inbred 456 - also steel - collecting all the parts before I buy the frame, cos it'll kill me to have it hanging on my wall and not be able to ride it!

I had a 501, its just as good as a peugeot raport. The power you put into the frame, stays in the frame hehe.... (as dead as a donkey)  I must say upgrading later to the 531,653 and 753....phew what a diffrence!
