The Super Le Tour was 1020 hi-ten, so not very good, even as hi-tensile tubing is concerned. The Falcon will probably ride much nicer. The British generally used 2030 for their hi-ten, and the Reynolds hi-ten was butted, so that makes it even better. You may even have a 531 model there, which would be better-yet.
