Keep a look out for something better to ride. These bikes really don't provide that great of a riding experience. Might be a fun hobby project ... that will cost you at least $40 each ... tires, brake pads....tubes, cables...??? Bikes with steel rims sometimes take a little longer to stop when you apply the brakes when it is wet outside. Those wheels can also be a real headache to "true" properly. Worse comes to worse...check out Niagara Cycle for reasonably priced parts. You can probably clean the rust off the rims and other chromed parts with a wet, soapy Brillo pad and then just hose them down. Good luck with it!
