The prices i mentioned are from the catalogue per meter in euros, and 631 is straight gauge per info from Reynolds but i’m sure they also du butted versions.
Yeah, I'm just saying that 631 is going to be pretty difficult to bend (it's very strong) and it doesn't likely come in thick walls like the old Schwinns. You'll likely go through a fair bit before you get satisfactory bends - be prepared. Bending tubing is one of the more difficult processes in framebuilding. Please post up progress and the tools you use.
