Hunting for old wine glasses in a South London Junk Shop I walked out with an exceptionally rare Paioli ' il Formicone' (the Ant) which is an Italian modular framed Tandem BMX. I'm looking for advice about wheels...

The rear wheel has a slightly worn hub, and given it contains the drum break system (1980's bike - drum breaks- bonkers I know...) I am trying to find out if it might be possible to replace the entire wheel rather than restore it. The wheels aren't Paioli as far as I know...

Any suggestions, or more information about these amazing machines would be welcomed...

If people think I am having a laugh, or can't quite imagine a modular 1980's tandem bmx, check the link... This is the one I have... And you will have to offer alot to convince me to sell it by the way!
