Peugeot Experts: Super Competition Question Re: Frame Material

Dear Peugeot Experts,

Do ALL "Super Competition" models feature FULL Reynolds 531 frames?

Or, did some have 531 "main tubes" only? I ask, as the "Super Competition" decal is visible on one Im looking at, however, the reynolds decal is unclear.

Many thanks,

RK

+1.

check the Reynolds deecal:

Green letters = regular 531DB tubing.
Red letters = 531 SL tubing

My 1981 Super Competition has a 531 frame and fork. The 531 decals are green on mine.

That means that they're regular 531, not SL. So what?

Thanks guys! There is a guy on Ebay selling a "super competition" however, questioning revealed that the (unpictured) reynolds decals state "501" and not "531"
