I thought 017 was a fairly premium tubing
I think all the Ishiwata butted sets were pretty much the same price, you just got less for your money with the lighter sets 🙂 I think it might have been slightly cheaper than 531C at the time, but there wasn't much in it. The gauging is more like 531SL/Pro
What I should have done instead of getting 017 to my exact requirements from the friendly shop was put up with the grumpy bloke in Rotrax telling me what he would build for me.
Turns out 017 wasn't the "Record Breaker", I set my 25 PB and club record on 022 Speed gallant on the next bike after the white one.

I guessed weinman 500s , they were ridiculously light and cheap.
I thought 017 was a fairly premium tubing, again very light.
