When CylcArt repainted my current Capo (S/N 40324), I did ask them to apply a rust preventive coating to the insides of the frame tubes. I have not worried about rust on my other frames. Having said that, I also admdit that internal rust MIGHT have contributed to two of my frame failures (1971 Nishiki, seat lug of BB shell; 1973 Peugeot UO-8, right chainstay between clearance dimples). I was able to ride both bikes home safely after they broke, as I did when my crashed-and-restraightened 1960 Capo (S/N 45211) finally ruptured at the front end of the downtube.
