Thanks for your reply and suggestions.

I put the wheel, cogs down, balanced over a bowl overnight. The bowl was real full of mineral spirits, which sloshed over the freewheel "seam". Still turning real hard the next mornig...way wrong. Went to the LBS to get a freewheel removing tool. Turns out this is a Normandy freewheel and only one company makes the removal tool, not Park. While I sulked, a friend of mine came out from the back room of the LBS and removed the freewheel before you could say "What it is!". He had the right tool. Then he told me that it would be real hard to get it working again since it was so frozen. Sold me a new Shimano 5 speed freewheel for $15. Came home, replaced all ball bearings, packed with good grease, reassembled the whole thing and put on the freewheel. I am so proud! Looks like everything worked, at least so far. Rear wheel turns much better now. Removed lots of crud from the bearing cups and cones. I suspect I should have replaced the cones but could not find replacements. One has a worn shiny spot bigger than the other, although concentric.

Bought a NOS Suntour V-GT RD on ebay for around $15, should be here in a couple of days. I'll put away the ALLvit for now. I'll tackle replacing the front tire, tube and servicing front hub next. Then new cables, and maybe service headset (is that hard to do?).

I suspect in about a week I'll have her running tops. Then I'm off to look for a Mixte. I like girls bikes. I'm a guy. Should I be worried? It's easier to drag my creaking body thru the hole than over the bar, too.

Thanks again,

Mirko
