I've had my share. I've recently picked up some steel wheel clunkers. The current one had a cottered crankset, and needed tires. I found out after I removed the rust that it had rim damage. That takes care of the alloy rear wheel I had as a spare. I found that stripping the frame for fixie bait and selling the wheels as beaters sometimes brings in sufficient cash for the least work. I'll profit on the bikes but it doesn't provide the satisfaction on refurbishing a worthy (most likely Japanese) steel frame bike w/alloy wheelset and three piece cranks.
