Description
This is a wheel set from a 1959 Schwinn Starlet.26" x 1 3/4" middleweight S-7.
The rims are center stamped Schwinn Tubular S-7.
This has an original Schwinn Approved Mark IV rear hub. I think it was made in Germany for Schwinn.
The front hub is Schwinn Approved and says made in Germany.
There must have been a shortage of hubs in 1959. This Mark IV was used in addition to the Bendix hubs. There was also a Schwinn Approved Austria 3 speed hub used in addition to the Sturmey Archer 3 speed in 1959. I received a Schwinn Corvette for Christmas in 1959. Mine came with the Austria 3 speed hub and a really cool Schwinn Approved tear drop 3 speed shifter.
The original brake arm strap is included.
