It's not Reynolds tubing if it's 555T or 555SL. It's just the name Raleigh USA(Huffy) gave to their generic butted crmo tubing. I can't say as to quality, but it was almost certainly a cost cutting measure. It could have been a deceptive ploy to make quality but cheaper tubes like Tange etc look like Reynolds, or it could have been a deceptive ploy to make cheaper and lesser tubes look like Reynolds. It might be Reynolds 531 if it's 555RSL.
