Is a car parked in the garage daily? How much road salt is used in your area over the winter. Are there pool water chemicals stored there? I've seen similar bikes more than I like and the common situation has a dusting of dried salt coating the bike from the last use and a storage area with humidity and/or temp swings allows for moisture to condense out or be drawn from the air. Sad this happened so quickly. Andy
Added- I seriously doubt there's much is any SS on this level of bike. Like the vast majority of bike produced that are intended for the masses and not the enthusiasts. Andy
