According to at least one BF thread a few years ago, 650B wheels were only used by Schwinn in 1991. As above. Go figure. I had thought that [almost] all MTBs from early 80's through just a few years ago used 559.

I always thought it was odd that Schwinn would spec a strange size rim for a few low end bikes. The Frontier took a steel rim and the Mirada took an alloy. I can't remember but I believe the three-speed Schwinn Suburban used that size alloy wheel in 1991 too.
