I may have to replace a front wheel on one of my Vintage Raleigh 3-speeds
well..i'd LIKE to replace it.
The bike is in really great condition, cept for the front wheel
either they stored it on top of a bag of road salt or it's from a different bike altogether
the rear wheel looks brand new
but the front even after I derusted it..has so much pitting the chrome is flaking off.

Can I replace it with a new wheel (i was looking at Niagracycle)
or does it have to be a vintage wheel?
will it stand out as a replaced wheel from a distance?

sorry being dumb..i don't' work with newish bikes, so i don't know how new parts meld with old bikes.


thanks
