Pretty sweeping statement, " Dutch frames are more reliable". I've never had any reliability issues with my many Italian frames. To my knowledge most Dutch frames used British or Italian steel anyway. What I do know is that Italian steel frames won far more Tour races, Giro,Vuelta than Dutch did. Some Dutch bikes are lovely, in Italy though, bikes are something beyond function and reliability. The very finest steel frames are Italian and combine build quality, aesthetics, ride quality and, of course, combined with Italian components....Speed

Shame to split, but would be v tempted to take the frameset of your hands.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
