I may have just got me a CC and a 32 model L today. The question i have is they have filled the rear wheels with cement. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to remove this and clean them up or are they beyond that. I want them to look original they are going to be for my personal collection. Thanks for any suggestions Thad.

I ve removed concrete from within old ships and the steel came out as new. It depends on the quality of the concrete but it should protect the steel from coroding.

if the wheels were cast iron, id say youd have a good chance to salvage them (if you were careful) but since theyre steel, id have to say no. concrete has a nasty habit of corroding steel. because its so pourous, it traps moisture and some mixes use a limestone powder. thats bad for steel too. so much so, that if you managed to chip out all the concrete, youd be replacing all of the spokes, hub and rim anyway because the moisture and calcium (depending on the mix) would have destroyed it. youd be left w/ nothing but scale.

a co-worker of mine is having all of the balconies in his building replaced because when the appartment complex was erected, the contractor didnt use coated re-bar. so some of them were falling away from the building.

looks like you have the opportunity to go all steel if you look hard enuff.

Maybe you could paint spokes on the concrete--think anyone would notice?:)
