Hey Os, I knew my old frame was galvanized, but couldn't tell on new frame. Was so bright and wicked looking looked top of line to me.

Coot, you can't go wrong with Os's frames. I can't tell you about logistics with welds, that's Os's job. But I can tell you from using them for over a decade and whitewatering with them that I've posted my frame a few times and have never split/cracked a seam.
