Complete and ready to ride. Chrome plated steel rims virtually pristine and rust free. Made in Chicago in 1967 and saved from a Collegiate. Amazing condition inside and out for fifty eight years old. Bearings inspected, lubricated, and spin smoothly. Tire markings "26x1/3/8 S-6 Or Schwinn Tubular Rims - Made in USA - Schwinn Straight Edge Sports Touring". Tires have good tread and no age related defects such as cracking or dryness or only minimally so. The gears are a replacement 5 speed Suntour freewheel dated 1977 thats better than the original which was a '64 French Cyclo.

Fit: wheels can be used on many five or ten speed bikes, American or foreign makes, from the 1960's thru 1980's that have rear dropout spacing 120 mm and front dropout spacing 95 mm. Brake caliper reach, frame clearances, and other factors also may come into play.

Thanks for looking,
