Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

Those could be useful wheels. The hubs are Normandy high flange; they came stock on many French bikes and they're pretty decent hubs. If the cups and cones aren't pitted, I'd throw in some new bearings and ride them. The rims are rigida; they're pretty decent. Shoot some WD 40 around the spoke nipples and rim grommets (after you remove the the tire, tube, and rim strip). There is some rust there and you want the nipples to be able to turn freely so you can true the wheel.
