Trek and Cannondale both make mountain bikes with aluminum frames, which are corrosion resistant. A company based in California called Kestrel makes a mountain bike with a carbon fiber frame that would basically be immune to corrosion. Another company in California, Merlin, makes a titanium frame mountain bike which is also impervious to corrosion. They don't even paint this frame. It is just bare titanium. Looks good. For practical reasons, such as cost, I'd recommend either the Trek or Cannondale. However, if I was currently independently wealthy I'd buy the Merlin. chriss@draco
