You forgot to mention training stand sweat and sometimes, heat stroke induced puke.....
Unfortunately, the TT, stem and seatpost areas seems to be a place where a lot of PO's "effluence" and DNA can get deposited. That's why all sorts of rust and "stuckage" problems happens there....so clean those used bikes very well when you first get them!
