Bolts instead of plastic plugs

[michiel.bohmer@xxxx]

Hi List,

Maybe I'm missing a oint here. As I follow the discussion about galvanised frames, I wondered. The specific reason to abandon the galvanised option was "re-tapping" the holes, wich was to much work.

First of all, how much work would it be? In percentage of the total time it would take to make a frame I figure it's really small. We could ask that Pierce-guy, but I honestly think that retapping the holes is nothing compared to the rest of the work.

But nevertheless, there will be a lot of smart people who can explain that tapping these few holes would take a lot of time and energy somehow.

Secondly, why didn't they put in some bolts, instead of the plastic cups they used for the epoxy-coating proces?? Then they would be able to galvanise the frame. Get the bolts out after?.

Two relatively simple questions I think,
