NJS bikes are commonly stored outside in their native country of origin, especially once they're past their prime.
It is very common for a second hand NJS frameset to have some sort of rust.
The scary thing is these framesets are still out there with no specific indications that their fork brazing pasts muster without a framebuilder's/ brazer's approving eye.
