As much as I used to hate seeing rusted out, crappy bikes and beat-to-**** MTBs coming in for tune ups at the last shop I worked at, those were the ones I learned the most from.
The shop I work at ran a Groupon for a full tune up this summer for $25(we got $12.50 for each bike) and I learned a lot on the horrible rusted, rotted bikes that everyone brought in. They're not fun to work on, but you really do learn the most.
