Didn't 753 have some problems with cracking or such?

Jim,
As it is snowing hard and I am one of 3 people in my building right now,
I don't remember 853 ever havbing a certification on it. It is
airhardening, but it has been used pretty successfully for lugged
frames, You don;t get the hardening benefit, but it still is prettuy
high quality steel eve
material.

In rampant speculation mode, I would be really surprised if Riv ever
specced 853 for a lugged bike. But I am just guessing. I did think
that they were using 753 early on in their US production mode. Chris,
you have any particular reasoning on this?

853 was a tubeset designed for tig welding, referred to as "Air-Hardened" so
that it strengthens as it is welded. 753 was formulated for low temp
brazi
