Someone donated one of the 531 mixte bikes to our co-op here once. But the majority of them I've seen were straight gauge Hi Ten steel.

thanks for that link. made the mistake of reading the sticky - another spiral into the world of internet forums. i'm sure model specific threads will be more helpful from a buyer's perspective. no flipper will i ever be.

Always consider the source when you get info. Sometimes people mean well, and take their best guess. There was one guy here who, I SWEAR, had to purposely suggest doing exactly the opposite of what would be correct.
