For the fork a way of fixing that pitting I could do on something like this.

Try to get the original details. Before they did the dodgy respray. Something like that.

Thanks for the comments guys. The internal cable route is an interesting point. Also is it not possible to find columbus slx tubes? Are they not producing them anymore?
I probably need to have a good chat with the builder who will need to do that. If more than one tube is rusted then there is no point.
The other thing is that I wanted to keep some of the original chrome. Is it possible to take off the paint but not the chrome? -
Thanks Yoav
Fortunately it wasn't expensive. I got in touch with Mario Vaz which told me the top tube will need replacement which is fine. I am just a bit scared if any of the others are also rusted. I might give it a try or at least bring it to him to check. -
the fork seems fine the chrome is just a bit pitted on the panto

this is the cable hole which was rusted. Forget about the grey paste I didn't get here soon enough to stop my dad start messing around with it.
-
there is some bubbling in the paint on the other side of the tube, which makes me think the whole tube is rusted from inside, or am I just paranoid?
