I've been having problems with the rear axle in my classic pile-of-junk
bicycle.  After lurching through potholes for years, my rear axle bent.
So I pulled it out, and bought myself a shiny, new rear axle.  Within a
week, it was showing signs of warpedness, and now that a month has elapsed,
the dang thing is a crooked as the original.  All without subjecting the
bike to any special abuse.

Could there be something wrong with the bike that is causing this, or was
I sold a piece-of-junk axle the second time?  So far the only advice I've
received is to get a new bike (well I know, but I love it).
