    Single Knurled S2 Rims

    I was at the LBS today and found a used set of rims that I have never encountered before. They are side stamped Schwinn Tubular S-2, but they only have a single row of knurling. The rear hub looks pretty new, like from the 90s. Looking at the rims they appeared to not be as wide or as flat as...

    Black Schwinn Approved Mesinger Saddle Not Just 1950s??

    So, I've been under the impression that black mesinger saddles stamped "Schwinn Approved" are late 1950s. I've read that on the various forums and have been told that by several people. Now I am beginning to think that is not accurate. In the past two weeks I've seen two original late 1960s...
