Anyone familiar with the era this would have been released? I can’t seem to find a huge amount, may be late 80’s?
Any help appreciated 🙏

Don’t know much, but it is newer than Reynolds 531. 531 was manganese steel, that had to be hand-made. After 70s the industry moved to chrome-moly, because that could be used in serial production. This is basic chrome-moly, so a grade below 531, but it’s stiff. The better, heat-treated tubings are better than manganese steel, which cannot be heat-treated, and have higher model numbers.
My 501 Peugeot is from ’85 but wikipedia says that the tubing was introduced in ’83, so I would imagine 500 made an appearance around that time also.
I don’t know but that color is amazing
