So the wear I've shown is not natural because it's extrem?

Wow! I didn't say that at all....I posted for demonstration because your post was very close and blurry.

[Dietrich Maerz]

Okay, so it is a picture of wear, but just extrem (and blurry, sorry).

Dave,

please elaborate a little bit more on the points of wear. Is it the patina, the flaking paint, ..?

Dietrich

[Darrell]

Getting closer

I guess the IGNORE options are off since everyone knows what evryone else is saying now

[Dave Kane]

All of it Dietrich! The wear and tear of daily bangs and bruises....there really isn't a 'pattern' to be seen as there's wear everywhere at all of the high points.
The wear is consistant whether it's the paint or the surface of the frame.....one's eye isn't drawn to a particular area if you understand what I mean!

I think Dave's cross and the rounder having different paint will react differently to abuse. The high organic paint may be more prone to chipping.

[Dietrich Maerz]

Yes, I guess so. Wear is a combined factor. If one item, lets say missing paint, sticks out and everything else is pristine (to bring the point across) something is screwy. It the whole picture that counts. I completely agree.

(If this thread isn't cleaned up of personal attacks by tomorrow morning, I will go through it with a chain saw.)
