Thanks for the advice.

The photo of the Ironman is about three years old. The rust is appearing mostly around the lugs, especially at sharp edges. It's not too bad yet, but we live a stone's throw from the ocean, and I'd been through this battle with my Bottecchia. I would sand, add five coats of etching primer, 5 coats of paint, and the rust would reappear in a month.

We'll take a look at the Allez if it's still available (seller had someone looking at it last night).
