Re: [DMCForum] Re: Stainless Frame Vs Galvanising.

You may be right about that,
however it seems that the only selling point is that the frames will
"last forever", but you know, I will not live forever.
Why should I spend my extra money so that someday someone else will
enjoy the frame I paid for?
If I had a rusted out frame, and I could get a new stock frame cheap
and I knew that if it were taken care of it would last for a long time I 
would go for that one.

I guess if you have the extra money, then go for it.
