rhys  to be honest mate   any frame that has been chemicaly striped wil have the same problem,

basicaly,  when you dip a frame the whole inside of the tube are flooded therefore cleaning them

and gegreasing them,   it's just part of the process that has to be done,

i really wouldn't worry about it,  blow out any loose bits with an airline and tbh  it will take years to

eat through from the inside,  if it ever will,  think you will find it just loose surface rust and nothing else,

also could be residue from the acid tank that has now dried out :daumenhoch:

trust me mate it wont,  it takes years to eat away from the outside so theres no way it can from the in ;)

saw that frame and basically the chromers fooked up,   it was left in the tank too long,  simple as that :daumenhoch:
