I choose not to. However, there is someone in St. Paul, MN who I've regularly seen on an AHH. Also, a co-worker has a Protovelo (Bleriot) that she uses for commuting. It's been converted to semi-horizontal dropouts and has a 5 speed i.g. hub.
Personally, I use either my Surly LHT or a Surly Cross Check as the heavy powder coating seems to resist rust a bit better. My bikes sit in an unheated garage all winter and rarely get cleaned. Many years past, I destroyed a very nice Specialized Stumpjumper that got too much crud built up on the bottom bracket. After about 3 winters it rotted through.
