I think if I were to include labor with a legitimate but fair rate, I could scare them out of fixing them. Then I'd be afraid they would leave them with me. I did see a bike like the black one on facebook marketplace recently for $60 that was ridable. I thought about picking it up and saving myself twice that much grief.

It also seems dirt cheap Chinese bolts and screws have good quality because they never rust.
The cheap Chinese freewheels certainly rust. One of the freewheels has a lot of wobble from probably the cheap hubs and the other one doesn't freewheel. If it did freewheel, I'd expect it to wobble even worse.
