Colnago Tecnos -- Cracks in the rear wheel

There are many cracks in the rear wheel near the nipples.  There's probably about 6 locations with cracks.  Doesn't look safe...






Schwinn Paramount -- Part 1 -- Frame, fork, gooseneck/handlebar (needs a cleaning first...)

Bought this at last Saturday's Bicycle Swap Meet.  Needs almost everything and is a little rough... 









Looks like the Gooseneck was made just for this bike.  It has the same "P" logo on it as the frame.

Same with the handle bar made by 3T.  It also has the "P" logo on it.


The frame number is on the bottom of the head tube, on the lug.
















Replacing the tires on the Cannondale -- Part 1 (corrosion and debris on the front & rear wheel skewer area; corrosion at the drop out area of the fork)

Front wheel.  The skewer is corroded and the spring is corroded/broken on the RH side.

Front wheel.  The corrosion on the LH side of the skewer is even worse.

Corrosion on the fork.  The fork is carbon but the dropout area is steel.

debris and corrosion

Looks like the top gel coat for the carbon was extended over the steel portion but the corrosion has peeled it away.

LH side of the fork outer.  Will have to clean this as much as I can...

Rear wheel. RH side of the skewer has quite a bit of corrosion also.

Rear wheel.  The LH side of the skewer seems to have the least amount of corrosion.
