What to do restore or sell?

Remember the cracked wheel?
I had to resort to welding it because in a market of demand and supply, I couldn't justify spending a Zinlizan dollars on a 40 year old wheel!
I still need to wet, sand, polish, primer yop coat paint and clear coat. But I do have plan B also!
Shame buying a new wheel was cheaper than a 40 year old one

not my best paint a few runs had to wet and dry them out but still massive improvement!
Re-spoking next I'm using the same hub and new spokes an nipples waiting for some new toolz

Hi folks hope everyone is well and fine.
Due to bad health I missed my brothers 50th but ready for his 53rd restored the wheel that was a headscratcher watching video didn't help so just did it and I think it's right.
working on the old front wheel paint is hard due to cold. Lost a brake barrel adjuster so had to buy two for £7.00 really bad prices in the UK for everything
rebuilt the crank smooth now
sorry for the awol. Started this in 2014 promise will finish it

At least you were able to weld the rim. I have a CB wheels with some cracks and no body whant to weld it.

You are now more close to finish

Hey madjh it's a lot of effort for one wheel by the time I added time and labour it was cheaper to buy new rims.
Only problem It looked out of place with the new rims on a 40 odd year old nightburner and that's me being really fussy about using 90% of the original parts. I've even got the old brake pads I'm using
