Yep we have same roads if not possibly more snow (more salt). Apart from the rust on bottom of the frame as seen in my first photo, the frame is still nice. The fork is still solid and it just has that gunk at the bottom but I am not sure if that is mix of salt/paint or just how it was made in the factory because it is hidden.
