sadly it will rust in my experience - clearcoat doesn't sit on the metal well without a primer and rust seems to always creep through eventually - the only example of non-rusted clearcoat bikes have been brooklyns, i have no idea what they do differently or whether they just havn't rusted yet.
i pick up my fillet brazed clearcoat frame at the weekend... fingers crossed!
Even a completely rusted Brooklyn still live to another days.
