76 Sport wire wheel rebuild workshop?

Post by jpcoetzee »

I have a 76 Morini Sport (big drum-brake) with aluminium wheels and stainless wire spokes, painted gold. They are starting to corrode and the paint is bubbling. Some pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/JPsMorini

I would like the wheels stripped down, rims and hubs blasted, corrosion removed and the ally polished, and rims relaced.

Any recommendations for a workshop? Preferably in the Bristol area.

many thanks

If it's wheels I'd talk to Hagon, years ago they blasted my DBS hub + rear, polished the rims an re-lased, still great. Be a shame not to sort the painted forks, might then get the chrome done... whoops forgot to stop! Still with good DBS going for £6k+ just think of it as an investment ;•]

Oh and speak to BIKECARE in Bristol (0117 939 7750) they have Morinis themselves, be a good place to know and start with as they would know local people.
