The only thing I can see is to just clean everything, immediately after you're done riding. And, I just did a little research, rub the areas that are going to get heavy amounts of salt on them in a thick ish coat of wax. Like car waxing shit. Then coat that in wax sealant.

For Chicago winters I just put the whole bike in the shower each night when I get home. Rinse it completely then let it drip in the shower. Dry it off with a microfiber cloth and oil the important parts, if needed.
That's hilarious! Here in Toronto it get pretty bad especially on the side of the road!
