Best place to look for old 24" Schwinn Wheels???
Where is the best place to look for old original 24" Schwinn wheels for a early 1970's Varsity?
I need a set (front & rear) for spare parts.
Any advice welcome.

I was looking for other size wheels yesterday on Niagaracycle and I believe I saw some 24" wheels for sale there.

26" MTB rims with 26x1.00 or 1.25 tires will work on some of those little Varsities.
