Re: Where was the Reynolds factory that made Commando frames
The reason TIG or MIG is no good for joining 531 is due to problems with cracking in the HAZ. This being the main reason the new generation air hardening "Reynolds" tubes were developed, as they can be used to make cycle frames using electric welding processes, without any problems related to cracking.
