The build-up of nearly 30 years worth of crud and rust is obvious! The wheels had spokes missing and the rear hub was a bad joke - someone had welded the sprocket on.
Yet look what a few hours of work can do! Still more needed though; a dent in the front wheel is slowly yielding to my repair efforts. The gouges and scratches of decades are disappearing!
Note the front spokes - four sets of 9. Each with a different length or angle.
The rear wheel is starting to look whole again! It's taking time to get the egg-shaped rim to be round again though!
