I have two keep-for-life bicycles made from Reynolds 853 steel and both are exquisite. I'm not sure what the modern equivalent is. But I need to find out soon-ish. I need one more nice touring/gravel bike for my final two decades of riding.

That's great to hear. I kinda wanna get my hands on a LeMond Zurich (or better) in my size in that fabled 853 if it ever pops up. Got to test ride one super briefly and I immediately liked it.
