steel tube trivia...

[Dave]

My memory isn't the best. I know Reynolds and True Temper both currently make steel tubing for bike frames, but was there a time when Reynolds used the term "True Temper" to describe their tubing?

Not that I can remember.

I just did a "true temper" +reynolds Google search and didn't see anything along those lines in the first 3 or 4 pages.

The stuff I used was called TSX and it had a warning that said "not for use as a family planning device".

You must have gotten the special backroom stuff.

Yeah, TSX. I had a frame built with it, it was ribbed for my pleasure :rolleyes:

Of course it gave the family planning admonition. As tsx is from Italy, it would be in violation of catholic doctrine if it was to endorse its use as a family planning device. In order to use it as such, it would require special papal dispensation.

You mean it did not come with a statement like,

"Warning, do not insert into body orifices, may cause severe internal injuries."

Oh, yeah, Columbus tubing is not made in the USA.
