On dry days in the winter I think you would be fine. I ride my rig even if it is raining or snowing so I do have a dedicated winter bike. If you ride when it is dry and keep the salt cleaned off you should be pretty good though. I always think I am going to ride my good bike on the nice days but never do because the beater is always at the ready. Plus, being in Central, NY there are not a whole lot of good days in the Winter.
