Agree with Velo entirely, even modern steel is that bit better than the old stuff.....

And seeing as I have several of the very old stuff variety (over 80 years old) I don't think it's much of a problem.

OK ....................... Bitd frames were a bit "belts and braces" but now a days technology/CAD/CNC has shaved and shaped every ounce/gram off frames/tube sets, I doubt if you'll see today's frame still around in to quote Brian "over 80 years old" not that I'll outlive a frame but we need to make sure the next generations of MacRetros have something to play on.

Stops all that pee rusting their arses.

But the real puzzle is what women use all those baby sterilising tablets for. What on earth do those little devils get up to in the nursery that requires those sort of measures?
