Busted! I knew when I posted that reply that I left myself open to that (justifiable) criticism.


A dry place is under any sort of a roof, in any climate. "Rust issues" are interior accumulations of rust that have any imaginable effect on the appearance or function of a frame. "Never" is, oh, I don't know--a couple of human lifetimes, maybe? I have never seen or heard of a bicycle with those sorts of "rust issues," and have never heard from anyone else has seen them, either. But maybe I just don't get out enough.


Jobst Brandt, I think, also dismissed that concern out of hand. He was better at being dogmatic than I am, though.
