Hi does anybody something about this tubing.....A mate has a Roy Thame made from this tubing with mudguard eyes front and rear.......all i know is that it is French, double butted steel and lighter than 531c....i know about Vitus due to their 979 Duralinox frames....but very little about 980......so.....how good is it?....Strengths and weaknesses?.......Any info would be appreciated.......cheers :sad::biggrin:;)

what more is there to know? there's this page, showing how it differs, but as for how good it is, it's strengths and weaknesses, i imagine that'll be down to the frame builder more than anything.
