Those look great. I am taking a bunch of nuts & bolts to get plated in St. Louis so I'll do the spokes & nipples. I combine my stuff with a friends Hodaka stuff.(hope they don"t crossbreed!)I think it's $50. up to 20lbs.

Hi Bob,

One note - I had the nipples off the spokes when they were coated.  The threads on the spokes and nipples are so tiny that some of them got filled in to the point where it was very very difficult to get them screwed back on correctly and far enough (soap, wd40, lots of cussing).  The next time I do it I'll treat the threads for rust and then replace the nipples on the threads of the spokes before coating.   In a family-forum, I can't accurately describe what a pain it was to get the the spokes that were filled in (15% of the total) tightened up properly.
