History of the Vintage Schwinn Approved Front Bicycle Hub (36 spokes, dated 3-70)

The original Schwinn Approved front bicycle hub is a classic vintage part used on legendary American Schwinn bicycles of the 1970s (such as the Schwinn Varsity, Continental, Suburban, etc.). Originally, the hub was made with a chrome/polished all-metal body with the signature "Schwinn Approved" embossing in the center. Models marked "3-70" (March 1970) are of high value to collectors, restorers, and vintage bike enthusiasts.
