The gunk on the chain rings ruined my brush and my sink. It was really caked on but eventually came off. The bearings were unusually clean and not dry.
Polish on the frame and a few of the gunkier parts to get them back in shape but otherwise it was just a case of bad garage dust. Whoever owned it previously didn't ride it much.
