On David Snyder's question and Jerry's reply, I know that my '72 P-10 Paramount (10-spd vs 15 spd for P-15) had 27" Weinmann rims on 36 hole NR hubs. They were not concave. They were heavy duty, with a bulge at the spoke hole to distribute stress and said Weinmann, not Schwinn Approved. They also had heavy duty double-butted Union spokes, 13-14-13 gauge.
