The Cycle Truck is the only model in 65 with S-2's as far as I know. The last ballooner the Wasp had it's last model year in 1964.
 
May of been a late 64 wasp , I believe cycle trucks had heavier gauge spokes , thx

I wonder is someone built that wheel up. Looks like 4 cross and during those days most all Schwinn's were laced 3 cross. The hub is dated to late for a Wasp. The hub probably didn't hit the States until sometime in January 65.
 
I wouldn't think they would be custom ordering any wasps in late 1964, since they were being phased out and being replaced with the heavy-duti. But if a dealer was trying to sell the last of their wasp inventory and someone wanted a 3 speed one the dealer would build that wheel for someone, gotta make the sale!
