Old fat tired rider
Saw a double knurled S2 rim with deep groove and a Bendix made in Mexico brake arm. Could someone tell me if this might be either the 80's repop or the Phantom repop? I know there was a recent thread on this, but can't locate it at the moment.
 
According to Craig, his wheels are from the 70's and this would coincide with the Mexican Bendix. But what balloon bikes did Schwinn produce in the 70's? :confused:

there's 2 bendix "Made in Mexico" 76 which were on Schwinn's till 83 and pretty sure there's a 74 also. . right about the time Schwinn's rims started getting crappy, 74. I thinks dats why me keeps tinking in 74 their rims was made in Mexico too. they can be on almost any bike of Schwinn's and others, cruisers middleweight and lightweights. I just bought a brand new one, '76' off epay to replace the rusted one on 80 cruiser. Even brand new they're ready to rust! So. I polished, cleaned the heck off it, and coated with clear coat. Sealed the SOB. .

Spitfires '77-'79 Cruisers '80+ They were middleweight frames with S2 rims and wide bars
 
BTW,I believe the Bendix Made In Mexico hubs were long gone when the Anniversary Phantom arrived in '95.They used a Shimano hub

I've had my hands on a couple of those bikes and not one has/had Schwinn stamped rims like in Craig's schwinnstore picture. Thanks for reminding me these started out in the late 70's. :o
 
I cant check right now but I think I have one on a sting ray

But is it a 26" S-2? The rims that Craig is selling are 26". Funny, Dave did not mention what size wheel he was talkin bout.

Not sure if this make any sense or not.
