[DMCForum] Re: Stainless Frame Vs Galvanising.

["Matt Spittle" <mds328@xxxxxxx>]

I think the greater joy to owning a stainless frame would be if you 
live in the northeast like me (Pennsylvania).  If I switched to the 
stainless frame, I think the first thing I would do is take my D out 
on the rainiest, saltiest roads I could find and purposely hit each 
and every puddle, with a burst of hysterical laughter as I slosh 
through each one; knowing full well that it can't hurt me. - Quite 
the opposite of the way I drive the car now.   

That is why *I* would buy the stainless frame instead of an original 
one or galvanized,plated,painted,whatever one.
