Many moons ago, I acquired this rather endearing RockHopper step-through.
In my haste to snaffle it from the seller for a measly sum, I deliberately and wilfully ignored that it'd been in his shed for 20 years and the likeliness of component stuckness associated with such a sedentary lifestyle.
Lo and behold, after a few days sweating and swearing and bleeding at it, I basically gave up for a while. Seatpost - very stuck (and lots of it inside). Stem - very stuck. DS crank arm - stripped thread trying to remove, stuck.
