Does Gunnar use Reynolds 853?
What they say about their material is that “
Here our artisans hand TIG weld together the finest proprietary tubesets in the industry.” Elsewhere on their website they say that the Hyper XF tubeset is lighter than what they use for their Fastlane. I asked the shop I bought through and they said it’s their own proprietary tubing but that it’s certainly equivalent to 853.
These frames come without treatment but I had mine sprayed with framesaver as part of the build and intend to reapply it every couple of years.
