From what I've read up on about the frameset, it was basically designed to rust to give each their unique patina. Painted with a minimal clearcoat protection which doesn't do much in regards to moisture to speed up the process.
I'm truly excited for 5-10 years from now when people are blasting and powdercoating those frames and putting new Cinelli decals on them. I like to think at least a couple people will come up with some interesting color schemes.
