Bad touch-ups are all over... mostly the top and down tubes. I need to do a better inspection. It has been used a lot on the trainer. I don't recall the cable guides looking very rusty. As I recall my Olmo's cable guides were nearly rusted off, and it was showing a fair amount of rust in other places after only a couple of years. It lived in a more corrosive environment than this frame though.
Chrome plated main triangle? Have you seen any references to other Zullos being chromed?
Is there a way to tell if the touchups are covering rust?
