Frankly, unless you're riding your bike regularly through seawater in puddles or along the beach, I don't think it's really that much of a concern.
I see. Let's put the concern on frame and money aside. That leaves me the most important parts that flows me on the road which is pedals, chain, shifter(they are metals right) and the I'm..rest derailure(sp?) How can I keep up with rust free daily through rain or no rain?
