I never knew much at all about the Hungary rabbit-hole Junior took the company down until I read this:

No knurling. Roger

Same for the Stainless S4’s Roger?

 

[PCHiggin]

Were these rims stamped? Did they read Schwinn Tubular S4 or S2?

 

[WES PINCHOT]

Did the stainless rims have the knurling?

THE stainless rims RIMS DID HAVE KNURLING. I SAW THEM.

That's interesting. I recently picked up a '49 New World with the stainless S-6's, and there's no trace of knurling. I remember seeing a picture of stainless S-2's, but I can't remember if they were knurled or not. Does anybody have pictures?
I put a picture of the S-6's in this thread: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1949-new-world-with-stainless-s-6-rims.168654/

OK you guys gotta quit with the misinformation about stainless S2s, they do exist, I sure would like another one to match my one, mine looks like 1950s to me, sure not 40s, they are just as shiny as chrome if not more shiny, and the knurling is outstanding, mine doesn't have any cracks or any other BS, would like to hear more truth about these and less guess work

That is one rare rim! They will polish up like a mirror even though the stainless alloy Schwinn used is not the best

Nobody can argue with that, it says it right there on the rim!, STAINLESS!
