After WD40, boiling water, hairdryer and some grimacing the seatpost is still wedged (Coke method yet to come). I decided to let that issue sit for a while and strip the rest of the bike down. Everything else was well-greased so far. BB is still quite smooth, brake calipers springy enough, headset little gritty, will be opening it up next. Ordered a Park BBT-4 and crank puller to remove the chainset/BB as the black Apex groupset might go on. Also ordered a new black Zenith quill stem in 60mm. I will remove the cassette from the rear wheel tomorrow, the wheels are light and strong. Just the hubs aren't too smooth. I think the bb shell stamp now says '96'.
