1967 Stingray 3 Speed With. 36 Spoke Center Stamp Rim

[bikecrazy]

Just curious, what bike was the 36 spoke wheel intended for?

 

[kstarkusa]

36 spoke rear rims were intended for the 63 and early 64 stingray

That happened in late '67 production. From the cover of the Dec. 1967 Reporter:

I just noticed my Dec 67 3 speed fenderless has a 36 hole S2.... then there were two!! Any more out there

View attachment 352574 ok so I've talk to a couple of collectors about this rear rim on this 3 speed stingray. It has a center stamp 36 spoke rear rim with a correct dated 3 speed hub. I was wondering has anyone seen a 36 spoke rear rim used on a 67 or even newer bike?

Here is my 67 with 36 spoke 3 speed S2 center stamped back wheel. This bike is a November LC serial #. Back hub is dated September 67. All core parts have 67 dated code.
Forks = December 67
Handlebars = 67
Stem = 67
Crank = October 67
Front axel = 67
Very helpful information posted from The Schwinn Reporter. Like thank Metacortex for that Mystery solving information.
