Seized spokes are merely from age and neglect. It has nothing to do with the type of bike.
Yup I have a 5 speed that I am getting ready to attack, the chain is rusted to the rear cog, and god only knows the last time a spoke was turned...damned derailleur bikes
Bike is a bike, some are in better shape than others, some are built with better quality equipment than others, they can all be a PITA to work on if they were abused.
