Hi all.
I bought this cheep bike, just for the handlebar . But when I saw it on the real I dedided to repair it. It is Bmx from 90's Czech production.
I have bought new tires Kenda 2.3 and inne tubes. Next week will start to take all off and clean it.
I dont have plan for it
- clean, replace broken pieces and put clear lacquer
- second option is to take off all paint and put new, and maybe some new stuff
Will See.

It looks like you have a nice basement, better than our old one! You do know that you can make the photos full size? I click on the Insert Image button, then click the By URL button and paste the URL in.

Anyway, your bike looks about the same size as the Zasada that I am using this year, made here in Poland, and I look forward to seeing something interesting here.

There are some very nice parts on there, but yes, that wheel rim does need some work or replacing. I see that it is a 36 spoke wheel, so finding a replacement rim could be a challenge - most of mine are 24 spoke or 28 spoke.

I was looking today rim 36 and decided to try repair it. Only new spokes I will use. Today will take off al spokes and take them lengh to make order and I will start clearing hubs and put rims in something for rust.

That is even better news, it has been a long time since I have seen anyone repair a bike wheel :)

Today I cut spokes and take hubs for the cleaning. Started to clean rims in liquid wirj nitric acid. One spoke from each wheel I take to order new.
