Steering Column, Fork is getting rusty.

Do any other Stella owners have problems with getting rust on their fork? The front seems to get worse and worse everyday. All the pictures I see they look pristine.

I posted on this a while ago. I cover my Stella every night and polish it probably twice a month and the fork is crazy rusty. I live a mile from the Pacific/San Francisco Bay so the air is a little salty here but it's still a little surprising. Even other SF Stellas I see don't seem as bad as mine.

Thanks for the info, thought I was the only one. Might try to repaint it if I ever get motivated.

Painted the fork, came out nicely, bet in a few weeks it will be rusty again. A losing battle here in Charleston, SC.
