My Sirrus did the same thing.
Specialized put some crappy chrome on these bikes.
I dont ride in the rain, but I do live near the beach so I expect some rust. Good chrome doesn't rust like this though.
The curved brake tube and the release bracket it clips into, the skewer nuts and levers, and the front derailer bracket all rusted prematurely. My bike mechanic went over/above last visit and replaced the curved tubes free of charge
