How did you deal with that rust (your bike looks really nice)? I am the owner of the black Miyata 310 above, the spokes were very rusty. I sanded them all with 220 grit sand paper (without disassembling the wheel), which got rid of most of the corrosion but also of course removed what was left of the chrome. Then I sprayed the spokes with a few coats of Rustoleum clear enamel in hopes that it would significantly slow the return/spread of the rust. I really don't know how well it will work in the long run so I am interested in other ideas for future projects.
