What is the best type of steel tubing for a lugged touring bicycle frame?

What abeautiful question. Steel is the best choice of course! In this catagory Reynolds is a great brand. True temper makes some great tube sets as well.

I bet if you talked to a few builders you could find an old 531 tube set and have him braze it up.

There are so many choices. Thanks for asking. I love thinking about steel frames, and riding them. Source(s): A few decades of riding, building, wrenching, and loving bikes
Thanks for that useful answer. I think I'll get my steel bike in the next few months. Cheers.

Chromoly (if you really want tubing that is steel)
