I did some work on a friends bike once, a bike that had been hardly used, had been stored in his shed for ages, so out of rain etc, but had some areas that were super corroded, sure enough, it was the pool chemicals stored in the shed.
wasn't anything like this, but the non stainless steel exposed bolts and stuff was pretty bad. I even sanded some stuff and painted them with black tremclad I had around for my front railing.
