I'm looking to buy a 26" rear wheel with 12ga. spokes. I'm motorizing a vintage 1972 Schwinn Collegiate 5 speed bike with a Grudee 50cc. The bike is in near mint condition and is in 100% factory original. Amazing how this bike has survived 37 years and is all original. Of course, I have completely disassembled the bike, cleaned it thoroughly, replaced all bearings, tires and tubes, brake pads and all brake hardware, had both wheels adjusted and trued and am in the precess of re-assembling it. I do not want to ruin the original back wheel. I seem not to have good luck with the "SEARCH" option on this site. I did check before posting. Please post any reputable vendors.
I've attached a few photos so you can see what this bike looks like. And the photos were taken before I cleaned it up.
Thanks !
