If I'd known, I wouldn't have purchased the bike! The "polished steel" was a selling point. Why buy it if it's going to end up covered in rust?
The idea of painting my lovely, polished steel frame, for which I paid a lot extra over the regularly painted version, seems unfair, but then, life isn't always fair. I think the the seller owes me new paint job or another bike that's already painted.
