Rusty FD
The front derailuer on my Masi has a bad reputation for getting froze/rusty/corroded. Last ride, there was light rain. I dried it & cleaned it. Locked up bad. Used lots of w d 40 wannabe on it- backforthbackforth... Lube. More w d 40. . . . workitworkit . . . It works better, but not good enough so the spring will pull it into small chainring. What else can I do?

Check the cable and shifter they may be gunked up as well.
Work the FD with cable detached and it should free up.
