word to the mother - seatposts will be a pain as they created their own special size of tubing - ask BRM.
Carbolite 103 was Peugeot's own way of branding regular steel - nothing special and quite heavy. Raleigh did equivalent with its..oh can't remember what it's called now, you know the one, 8130 or something. A vague bid to suggest it was an alternative to Reynolds and you were getting something good.
Saying that, they still last and people are still riding twenty-five-year-old frames made of them.
