In my defence, I live close to the shore and pretty much anything rusts pretty quick. I could've taken better care of my bike though, you're right.

That salt breeze is no joke, it takes a constant active effort to prevent it's destruction.

The next bike you get be sure to take good care of it. Seal it with marine grade polyurethane where you can and keep the parts you can't well oiled and clean of debris.

It should last a long long time if you do that.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the wisdom.
