    Any frame with fresh undercoating or paint is suspect to me, especially when you can still easily see lots of rust. The fact that the underside of the body itself has lots of active rust tells be this was a paint and sell frame job.

    And there are plenty of nice frames up north IF the owner took care of it.

    Salt is bad, the liquid brine they spray on bridges is some nasty stuff though. Calcium chloride is wicked.
