    Bendix 2 speed kickback on 20 inch wheel

    I found a 20 inch 36 spoke rim with a Bendix 2 speed red band kickback mounted. It looks Oem ( not Schwinn). This has me wondering what bike this would have come on. The rim is wide enough to fit a balloon tire. Did any muscle bikes come with this combo or is this a custom build.
