hi tensile steel frame life expectancy

How long will my nashbar hi tensile steel frame last?. I would try to protect it from rust and don't abuse it with riding more aggressive than its intended for. even though it works for light gravel trails.

how long will it last usually??. and while hi tensile steel is not the best, it's still hopefully better than aluminum which I think I heard has a shorter life of other frame materials.

The rust is one danger but I also wanted to ask if I could use a rust guard that the LBS sells.

want to buy a bike that lasts but I paid 187$ for it since it was on sale when I got it.

you might say that anything at that price won't last and you get what you pay for.

187$ on sale but otherwise a suggested msrp 449$ quality bike.
