I basically filled my Hillborne with framesaver, looked like a frothy pint of stout when I was through with it. Ride it everyday in salt soaked NYC and I don't have any issues yet. Recently picked up a Quickbeam that had some nasty corrosion on the aluminum bits, as I nervously disassembled it fearing the worst, I was happily surprised to find the frame's insides looked beautiful. I framesavered the hell out of that one too, after Jared of Riv assured me a frame can't be savered or savored too much. Salt to taste, it's gonna be alright. -Kai
