Schwinn Original Tubular S2 question

[GTs58]

Yes. These are what I believe were a private endeavor by someone. As there were many.

Here's another bastard S-2. It's stamped "Tubular S-2 Schwinn", not Schwinn Tubular S-2.

There’s probably a ton of ways to do it, but the easiest way for me to quickly/efficiently tell originals and 1995’s are the weep holes/drain holes on the inside of the rims. Originals are larger ovals and the 1995’s are small round holes.

Very interesting in various productions of the schwin tubular. S twos.

My 1971 Stingray has a single knurl S-2.

‘71 S-2 single knurl

The ‘90s repop sleep have a more rounded top then the originals and super deep knurls.

 

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

If I remember correctly similar to what @Sal Paradise said the really early hoops had fewer weep holes maybe only like four total 2 sets of 2.

Some of the early S-2s had no knurling at all.

What did they come on, the Binford 6000?

No, I got them from Brian. They are very nice.

Here’s some originals for reference. First two are 49 to 65? 3rd is 48 only non knurled.

Can you please take a pic of how the seam should look like ? Are the knurlings interrupted where the rim was welded and polished ?

Yes it is often interrupted by the weld.
