Mercian offer a choce of Reynolds 531, 725 & 831 tubing
Initiually I was going to go for the 531 but in the end I went with Reynolds 725
largely because this was what Mercian advised
they seemed to think that I would notice the difference of Reynolds 725
over and above Reynolds 531
but that I probably wouldn't benefit much by going for Reynolds 831
I would be very interested to know if anyone has an opinion on 725 as a choice of tubing
as 'goggling' does really shed much light on the matter
