No No don't swap wheels. Your grandmother's machine needs to stay the way it was when she used it. I forgot that the Redeye was produced for a very long time. My Redeye is a 1914 machine with a spoked wheel of course. You will find a spoked wheel. Boy, that just goes to show that we should not pass up those throw away machines we sometimes see for parts. I could of gotten a trashed/thrown out/torn up Redeye for $5. It had the wheel and some parts on it still. My problem is that when I find something like that I 'know' I will spend the money to try to put it back together!
