I've read recommendations for gun cleaning using diesel fuel which
should be applicable to bike parts, car parts, whatever -- steal
a Tupperware (or equivalent) container of a suitable size, with a
tight-fitting lid, from your kitchen stock, and keep it half-full of
diesel fuel. When you have a pistol to clean, remove any wood grips,
and dump it in the container, put on the lid, and shake vigorously.
Supposed to work wonders. Filter or strain the diesel fuel now and
then, change it when it gets really grungy. (I guess the old gorp will
kill weeds in the sidewalk cracks pretty well...)
