Hey folks,
I'm working on a 1961 (?) JC Higgins Roadster. I am not restoring to factory spec, just doing what I feel like as I go.
Below are a few photos of the rims. The front rim has 3-4 broken spokes that will be replaced. Some steel wool and elbow grease appear to be removing most of the rust, but I'm wondering if it would just be better to get new rims and spokes? I've never relaced a wheel, but I'm confident I could figure it out eventually.
Thoughts?
