I have recently acquired a Redline RL 430 that was not taken care of. The wheels are in good shape except that some of the spokes are rusty. Is there anything that you recommend using to clean them up a bit? Thanks!

My kids think I am an idiot when they see me polish the spokes on my daily rider.

A green Scotch Brite pad or steel wool does wonders for old rusted spokes. It's heck getting the little bits out from where the spokes cross though.
