I was looking at a Schwinn Heavy Duti at a LBS today and thinking ......Hmmm, rip off the fenders, flip the bars, and fit a set of red bricks and it wouldn't look too bad. Only thing is, it is fitted with a set of cantilever front brakes...yuck. I'd have to either change the forks or make up a set of truss rods that utilise the brake mounting posts. At $400AU, the price isn't too bad either considering a similar set of wheels and tires would be $200 plus.
I love the beefy rims and spokes, they look like they'd stand a bit of kerb hopping
.
Can anybody comment on the quality of the new Schwinns?
