Yep, water gets in via the seatpost or bottle bosses then just pools - imagine my horror when I saw a bit of flaky paint and just pushed a screwdriver gently through the tube!!!
Sealed tubes are a daft idea - let the water in and out and the issue of internal rust decreases hugely.
The repair was done by Geoff Roberts, £75 including postage which seemed an insanely good deal.
I really must get it finished off, it’s almost there just needs cables etc
