Interesting Set of Wheels

Well, at least I think they're interesting, in a time capsule sort of way. Thanks to philpeugeot for posting the Offer Up link on the ebay/craigslist thread, and apologies to attylah for responding first, but I met a nice young lady in a Shari's parking lot after work, handed her a twenty, and she handed me these:



It seems like someone had a really nice set of wheels built around Phil hubs, and never used them! How often does that happen. I love that everything matches, down to the valve caps.



And the Schwinn Super Record tires.



Weinmann 27 x 1 1/4" Concave rims with eyelets. No wear on the brake tracks, but they seem to be pretty well detensioned, with lots of spoke threads showing. Hmmm. I think these are Schwinn/Borg Union butted spokes, laced 4 cross.



Everything is a little rusty, but the Phil centers are just dusty.



Somebody rode them a little, but only in three of the cogs.



I almost think these should just hang on the wall. We'll see.
