Heavy Duti - Heavy Duti

[skoda]

The spray paint monster got to these too. Between the pair I'll get a nice project base and parts donor and a good start on one of these cool bikes.

Highlights include one pair of Schwinn Tractor Grip tires, almost all original Schwinn parts, spokes that could choke a mule...

One will go springer and whitewalls, the other yellow impliment paint and some NOS Heavy Duti decals.

Those Schwinn Heavy Duti bikes are great bikes for a project.

After a round with the power-washer and auto stripper.

One I passed along to a friend of a friend for what I paid. Too many others around to worry about doing 2 of the same bike.

Just curious, but other than the chainguard, how can you tell it's a Heavy Duty?

usually i can tell with the heavy gauge spokes

Andy the heavy duties have large spoke wheels like 10 gauge or something like made to take some abuse we use to use them on Clunkers
back in the day when we didnt have a drum brake wheel.
I have a three speed Heavy Duty that just sits cuz no one wants to ride the thing ..."heavy" is the opperative word...

This beefy workhorse looks like it might be a Workman up for auction in Dallas. Sorry if I blew it for anyone who was watching it, but it's not every day that you get a chance to buy a bike from Lockheed Martin...
