Ted,

The tires are most certainly 650B and were the 'Hurricane' model

if I remember correctly. The original tires are now 50 years old even

if you find them NOS. The selection for new 650B is better than ever~

though I still have a stash of Hutchenson and Wolber Globetrotters

and Demi-Baloons. I have the rarely seen Town and Country triplet

with a Campagnolo 3 speed derailleur set up. Mine is a late 50's

model. The Anaheim Schwinn shop (now gone) used to service the

T&C Quads that Schwinn made for the Barber Shop Quartet.

Happy almost new year neighbor-
