schwinn heavy duti custom or stock

[heartlandcruisers]

well with my recent acquisition of my 1972 Schwinn heavy duti the question arises what can i do to it without hurting it since this oens so complete and original.
with that being said, anyone ever do these up? or got a clean stock one or even a stock one that you plan on building? please show them here
not sure what i am going to do with this one but i am going to keep it as stock as i can maybe a cafe racer style or bobber style with the front fender mounted on the back and front fender delete and different bars
please sow off your Schwinn heavy duti i am also curious how many versions of this misunderstood bike actually exist i know theres an american heavy duit i think a typhoon heavy duti and i am sure there is others. i will fire this off with mine my 1972 all original right down to the tractor tires

Here's mine. Not American made. Got frame/forks from ChuckZ...

I picked this ratted out Schwinn Heavy Duti (1969) a couple years ago.
It's a "rags to riches" story.

Mine's also a '72, and was all original including dry-rotted tractor tires. I put a new rear tire on it, new chain, 42t chainring, and last but not least a front hubmotor kit! In the interest of no permanent mods I left off the front fender because it would have required modification to make it fit with the hubmotor.

Nice news bag.
I was an Ann Arbor paperboy around 79 to about 82

The Black one's serial number ends in 666 and it was built on Halloween 1964

1975 Heavy-Duti

I would love a yellow one, I think it was the only Cool lemon yellow middleweight they made.

That is screaming for a theme build!

 

[musclebikemadman]

I named this one The Beast

I finally hooked up the Bendix 2 speed. This set of wheels is awesome. They were intended for another build but it is a long way off so I will keep them on the Beast till then.

That King size looks great. Rare bike too. They have a registry for the King size Schwinns over at the CABE.

Thank you. Yes I have 2 on the registry now. A KS was on my wish list and I have found 2 in the last couple months. Bummer I have to let some others go to make room but that is the circle of life in my garage

I already posted my '72. Now here's my late one that I just put together; frame and fork from Industrial Chuckz:

Here’s my 2002 (edited for factual correctness!) straight bar. As found and now with rack and trunk bag. Thanks for looking.

I like it, but I think it's quite a bit newer than '82.

Very nice but like HD said not a '82. In '82 it would still have been a Chicago made cantilever frame. I would think more 1992/2002. I do not own any of that frame style not sure what years they were made.
