>>1576355You got nearly the cheapest specs in it's class. It's a new, meme build with no track record. Should be good enough to start with, as long as you don't run out of gears. Probably a solid commuter.
Nothing on that is worth upgrading. If things fail, cobble together cheap replacements and use it as a beater.

Simply gently rinsing off salt water, and wiping off excess water in general near the sensitive areas of the drivetrain, hubs, bottom bracket will make a huge difference. You can use WD 40 to displace water, but be careful to not wash the grease out of your hubs and bottom bracket. Proper lubrication for your conditions also makes a big difference.
Pay attention to tire choice. If you have serious snow, spike tires, and possibly a second winter wheelset might be a good idea. As a blanket rule, you probably want to go wide.
