Big dredge on this, but do people think drilling a hole where there isn't one is a good idea? I just took the bottom bracket out from a frame I recently bought and found quite a lot of rust+ water inside. Seems structurally okay otherwise - is it worth drilling a hole?
Drill it. Frame builders aren't doing any wizardry when putting drainage holes in, they're just drilling it so go ahead. It's always a good idea to have one in the BB on a steel frame
