the Ross Central Park that I dragged out of the scrap pile is rolling again, only 2 broken spokes on the back wheel, the tire only rubs the frame a little bit I rode it up & down my gravel road a couple times, the horrible grinding noise from the bottom bracket has lessened a bit

I got the seatpost out, it was a "little" stubborn, maybe because of the 25 or so years spent out in the weedpatch
