That's what mine looks like after last winter... and it was such a mild winter that the street and hwy depts only used a tiny fraction of the road salt they usually do.

I'm in the middle of trying to fix that bike up; I see that the rear sprocket is MISSING 3 1/2 teeth! WTH? Never had that happen before.
