What a premo example in my favorite color! Is the pie plate solid or slotted? Kinda looks like slotted, but the picture doesn't blow up.

The license is from Pleasant Hill Cali. if it wasn't half picked off I would have left it but I was successful at removing it with out messing up the paint.

wonderful to find it so all original and without damage! 🥳

have always wondered about the maker for the chainwheels and these chainsets

they "look" like they might be Cyclo of France or possibly Peyrard (NERVAR) but have found no maker's mark

does anyone know?

The crank set is stamped Huret on 1961.5 and later models.
 
Wow...really nice condition!
Congrats.
Oops...forgot to hit the "post reply" button after I wrote this yesterday.
Now I'll add that I've never seen one on a bike, but I have a couple of these triple chainsets that are branded Sprint.
Don't know if they were put on the '64 models or not. Never been close enough to a '64 to see for myself.
This is one that I put on my '63 model.

a number of european manufacturers produced chainwheels with this six-bolt pattern

Sutherland lists -

T.A.

Lambert

Haubtman

NERVAR (Peyrard)

Simplex

Solida

Zeus

others include Cyclo (France), Magistroni, Fratelli Brevio

"usually" with sets of this pattern the Y-adaptors are separate pieces which can be either steel or dural and mount to the arms of a three-arm spider 116mm BCD crank arm

in this Schwinn design the Y-adaptors are integral with the spider

Eric - why do we see one of the bolts affixing the inner chainwheel mounted head in and the other mounted head out? (third bolt hidden by crank arm)
