I present my Salt and Snow (B)Eater
Japanese made Raleigh Vector road bike. Italian fork.
Junk wheels and cross tires. Benotto brakes.
Shimano levers. Suntour Stem, Specialized flat bar.
Ruffian Grips. SilStar? crank. Chinese freewheel.
42/16. (a bit hard for winter but whatever)
The only thing nice are the sealed Kona platform pedals.

Il Mitch. That bike of yours is getting quite a bit of attention. Nice ride. Show us again when it's all covered in salt and grime.

Bearings and drivetrain are another matter, but those are going to be a problem on a beater as well.
