How freshly lubed? I clean and lube my chain every day (Pedro's dry lube), which is probably the cleanest lube I have used, but there is still a lot (a relative term of course) of goop on the chain every day after my ride (I ride daily). It was worse when I used standard Pro Lube. Also, cleaning and lubing the chain is not part of the tune-up at my LBS. They basically adjust all cables, derailleur, true wheels if needed, adjust brakes, check all bolts and attachments for proper tightness. I would not dream of bringing my bike to a mechanic if it was not meticulously cleaned. Most wrenches I know, have little respect for customers that bring in dirty bikes for adjustment/tuning.
