sure, contact I have is Joe, was super helpful and the email address I used was jmccrink@kvastainless.com was a good few days sometimes between replies so not sure he’s on it full time maybe? I was in touch over a year ago with them too on the same email address, didn’t buy tubes that time but i remember it was always a good few days between contact then as well. Not sure if you have the latest tube guide but I did find that the tubes he had in stock didn’t really match the guide MS3_Product List_110221.pdf (281.4 KB)
Nico from Egerie has been building stainless fullies and when I asked he told me he got Reynolds to make him some fitting tubes. Had been wondering the same myself for some time, but just moved on to titanium I think.
Their pricing isn’t too bad compared to what we pay for say Columbus tubes here in Australia. It’s the shipping that is like handing over your first born.
No, tbh most of the main tubes are comparable in price to what I’m paying for Reynolds 853. But there are some super pricey ones such as the seat tube I’d be looking at for example.
Yeah and the CS are more too…but then the savings on paint would offset that by a long way. I reckon I’d still have a bit of paint on mine If I went down that path.
Could see if ORA will sell stainless tubing. They do show their Ti options on the site, digging through their stainless frames they have suitable stainless tubing in 630 and 2205 duplex.
Cheers, good shout. I’ll try asking Ora but their MOQ is usually pretty substantial unless anything has changed.
Right now I’m considering building something with the tubing I can get hold of off the shelf before potentially coughing up for some custom tubing.
