I've noticed that drink bottle cage mounting bolts that come standard with frames seem to rust very easily. Touch them with an allen key and next rain they'll start to rust in the allen key hole, have seen this on all my other bikes, but very disappointed to see my Trek 5200 mounting bolts doing the same - can you get non-rusting ones?
