At the moment I'm thinking about building a set of Sturmy Archer drum brake hubs to some aluminum rims, some nice knobby tires and bmx-style bars. So in keeping with GRM Fashion I am starting this build thread before even having the project in my hands. Should be great for blasting off curbs and through the dirt. I'm excited about the Heavy Duti in particular because it's an extra-beefy version of the classic Schwinn Middle-weight cantilever frame. Interestingly, one of the guys involved in this was Gary Fisher - which is actually the brand of my daily commuter/mountain bike. For those unfamiliar, Klunkers were converted cruisers with knobby tires that pioneered mountain biking back in the mid 70's. This will be the basis for a Klunker style build. This particular thread is going to be for a bike I do not have yet, pictured in the Facebook Marketplace ad below:ġ980 Schwinn Heavy Duti. This summer I've commuted to work 20 miles round trip a few times a week and gone out for plenty of beer/exploration missions on the bike as well. I've always enjoyed bicycles and without a project car I've found myself gravitating back to them which has been a welcome change. Bicycles were my first passion, I've been riding BMX since I was 10, worked in a bike shop for a decade, etc. So, in the meantime I've been riding and building bicycles a lot more. Anyways, after the 97' Civic I've been trying to take a 1 year hiatus from project cars (June 10th 2020, not that I'm counting). This will be my first thread in the 2 wheel forum - I'm usually creating long drawn out threads about refreshing boring cars.
