Remember when a full shop tune-up was $35?
Had a guy bring in a 1992 Trek 930 last week that needed everything from new cables to a hub overhaul, and we spent three hours just getting the old freewheel off. The whole job reminded me of my first shop in Madison where we'd actually have time for those deep restorations. What's the most stubborn part you've had to deal with on an old mountain bike?

Ever try heating that seized freewheel with a torch before the wrench?

My buddy had a bottom bracket so stuck we had to put the whole frame in a vise and use a four-foot pipe on the wrench. It sounded like a gunshot when it finally broke free.
