Rust in the steel fork

[DebW]

Had the bike for 3 months now. I'm the original owner. Rode in the rain maybe 5 times.

I'll dump some Boeshield in there, just to make me happy. Thanks DebW, you're a babe!

Hmmm, 3 months is a very short time to be showing signs of rust if the surface were properly finished. I'd suspect that either the paint/chrome/finish wasn't done properly around the hole or the fork was stored in a damp environment before it became your bike. You could go complain to the place you bought that bike from, or just watch it and use Boshield regularly.

Yeah, that was my thought. 3 months is not long. My commuter's about 10 years old, has some scrapes and dings in the paintjob but no rust. I check for that when I clean, so far so good.
