odd though that it's ST tubing, but has no bosses... I thought the ST was something to do with touring?
It has bosses on the down tube,but yes youre right its 531 ST. STstands for super tourist which would you wouldnt normally expect to find on a steep no ,clearance racing geo frame.Normally its found on deiciated touring bikes like the Dawes Galaxy.
I did read taht ST was sometimes used by framebuilders on large frame sizes,to add a bit more strength and stiffness over regular 531tubes, for taller therefore heavier riders.
