Howdy.
I've been contemplating selling the wheelset and brakes that were on my 98 Homegrown Straight 6 as up until now, I didn't believe they were original issue.
However, I'm having 2nd thoughts.
The catalogue suggests they ran Hayes brakes, with Ringle hubs.
My bike came with Hope C2 brakes, and Hope Hubs laced to Sunn Double-Wide rims..
The thing that has me stumped, is that the rear hub and rear brake mount are specific to this frame. Mine came with a Hope hub thats specific to the Lawwill frame, AND specific to the Hope C2 disc rotor, and the Lawwill floating brake mount to suit the Hope brake. There doesnt appear to be any modifications to either the hub or the floating brake mount, which leads me to thinking they they were original items to this frame, even though the Schwinn spec list implies otherwise.
Thoughts?
