Schwinn Heavy Duti

[Uncle Stretch]

I picked up several schwinn heavy duti bikes. I redid this one and it turned out pretty good. The bikes are made for plants and schwinn puts a little extra in them to make them ride really good. I'm not sure if its the bearings or the gearing or both but the make for a good ridding cruiser. So everybody tell me what ya think.

me likes :mrgreen:

nice chain ring

Well, I'm partial to the paint scheme...he he.

It turned out awesome!

Only recommendation would be to lose the reflectors and lower the stem some.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I didnt do anything to this frame ,but its a for sale bike is why it has reflectors . If you lower the stem it looks better ,but it dosent ride as good . thought about the small mini apes i have ,but not everybody likes them. Most times i give whoever buys it a choice of any of the other parts I have for them...that is if they dont try to buy it too cheap.ha ha

looks good !!! if your doing a few, i dont think it really "needs" the scallop on the fork legs, but it is a nice touch. the only other thing I myself would have done is remove the bottle cage mounts, but thats just me. shouldnt hve any trouble movin a bike like that though

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I dont know why schwinn puts the stupid cage holder on there anyway. i figured someone might actually want to stick one on there. the scallops on the front forks was an after thought because it looked so white. probably should have just done a diamond or something.

looks great. Did you manually mask it?

Yeah I dont take too much pains with them because they are for sale but they look better with some other color on them . I'm getting faster at doing them with masking tape. Tried that blue but it falls off too easy. Found if you peel the tape towards what you just painted it makes a better line.

Looks sharp! Very well done.

I built this heavy duti just recent and sold it on a request for someone after three weeks later. I texted the owner and made him a trade offer for it back. Going to change some things on it continental tires,two piece cranks. Got it back yesterday.

Love it Uncle, clean and simple.
The idea of building a bike like this for my self has been in my mind for some days now... makes me wanna go home and play with a similar one I have...
so thanks for the inspiration!

good tip on tape peeling, I´ll be trying that :wink:
