I just noticed on Haro's site; some of their bikes are offered in a raw, unpainted color choice. Isn't it a bad idea for steel to be unpainted, so it can rust more easily?

Like this one:

it has a clear coat of paint on it so its not exposed to the elements

Ah. I just dont understand why people would want a frame that still has burned spots on the metal where it was welded :/

raw is aw-sum. the little burn marks in it make it look cool, and yes they do have a clear coat on the metal, as do all painted frames.
