It could. In countries and areas like Canada that salt in the winter, one must be very careful to oil the inside of the tubes at least once a year to prevent tubes from the inside out (happened to me, while I was riding, twice - not a fun feeling to have a tube break whilst in the saddle). Even then, with lugged steel frames, a new tube can be put in, and you're on your way. They literally can last forever, but at what point (after how many tubes have been replaced) is it no longer the same frame/bike? > The seat angle makes me think of a little village in S E Asia that you > may experience if you spend too much time in the saddle - Numh Coc. <crosses his legs and winces at the thought...> ;-0 cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
