Most "modern day tubing" is still shit compared with 531.
Most is gaspipe, or at the very best seamed plain gauge 4130 cromo. Which is still gaspipe.
The only modern day steel tubings which are better are other high-end seamless tubes, such as those produced by Reynolds, Columbus and Tange.
True Temper :)
My True Temper OX platinum frame is pretty nice, seems to be more heavily butted than my Reynolds 631 too.(according to the official 'I tapped it with a screwdriver test')
