Reynolds Technology
Reynolds Technology is a manufacturer of tubing for bicycle frames and other bicycle components based in Birmingham, England established in 1898. History The Reynolds Tube Company was founded in 1898 by John Reynolds in Birmingham, England, but traces its origins back to 1841 when John Reynolds set up a company manufacturing nails. In 1897, the company patented the process for making butted tubes, which are thicker at the ends than in the middle, this allowed frame builders to create frames that were both strong and lightweight. Reynolds introduced the double-butted tube-set 531 in 1934. ''The Patent Butted Tube Co., Ltd.'', the predecessor of the present company, was spun off from John Reynolds' original company in 1898.

Mixte
A step-through frame (also known as open frame, drop frame, or low-step frame) is a type of bicycle frame, often used for utility bicycles, with a low or absent top tube or cross-bar. Traditionally, bicycles with a step-through frame were known as "ladies, "women's", or "girls' bicycles" mainly due to their advantage to riders wearing skirts or dresses. Bicycles with a high top tube (cross-bar), known as a diamond frame, were known as "men's", "gents, or "boys' bicycles". As a result of changing clothing styles since the late 20th century, descriptions that describe the frame style, rather than the presumed gender of the rider, are becoming increasingly common. Advantages * less risk of stretching or ripping clothes when mounting the saddle * the rider can wear a skirt (also requires a skirt guard and possibly a chain guard) * very quick to mount and dismount, so is suitable for delivery bicycles, or any journey with many stops * suitable for elderly and others with restri ...
