rust never sleeps!
i'm of the understanding that most any powdercoating will admit of some
degree of rust over time, all things equal. i wouldn't worry about it.

There is a difference between "clear coat" and the "clear powder
I have a clear powder coated Quickbeam and have no visible rust at
all. The corrosion seen on many clear powder coated frames is, I
believe, a function of the frame's preparation prior to the clear
coating. The previous owner of my bike had the original orange paint
removed, then took the frame hom
I live a block from the beach and more than half of my rides are along
the coast here in Ca. Every time I clean the roadeo I get paranoid
and go look at the pictures I took when I recieved the frame ot figure
out of the rust is spreading. It is not, just my paranioa. The other
unfortunate aspect
Maybe somebody with more of a metallurgical or chemical background
could answer this question: Is there any substantial difference
between clear powdercoat and pigmented powdercoat, in terms of its
sealing properties? It could be question of perception: could it be

We probably over-react to rust, especially here in So Cal. Rust means
deterioration but there are lots of ancient, rusty beach cruisers
still in use. Granted, they are probably made from heavier gauge
tubing but it's also likely to be a lower grade of steel than a
Rivendell. My guess is a bit of
Very nicely said James. I completely concur with the sentiment, though...Kahn's
natural materials could weather gracefully without finish. With RCP you've got
the CP on top of the raw steel. Maybe a CorTen frame? ;)

That's the only downside I've heard of, and would probably be so slow in a
dry climate to not worry about it.

James, clear powdercoat is quickly becoming one of my favorites. They are
just great to look at. I love the raw finish where you can see the
manufacture's markings, and builders file marks and even thumb prints! The
