They don't seem to be stiff and I just cleaned it (will lube it when it dries) so I'll see if that helpsIt didn't look like link-movement-restriction rust--it looks mostly cosmetic. I'll keep on using it until it stretches or the links get stiff

If I ride when it's wet or I wash the bike but wait a few days before I relube the chain I will sometimes get some rust spots. After I lube everything seems fine.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I wouldn't sweat a little surface rust. Lube it, and you're good to go.
Redrhodie- what lube are you using? I'm not right on the coast, but we get our share of salt air, especially if the wind's blowing right.

My new heavy duty lube is Cross Country Finish Line Wet Lubricant for extreme conditions.

For my commute bike, I just don't care whether it has rust or not, even though it is responsible for my daily rides.
