That would be, like, a double improvement to element moisture and strengthen the connection.Īs GT mentioned, about the change in frame manufacturing, well, at least it' happened before 63 and I'm thinking 59 sounds like a good spot. Since the name 'Heavy-Duty showed up in 65 catalog, probably 1st production is summer -fall 64. Upon seeing these catalogs or order sheets from 67 and 80, I was surprised to note the use of 'Middleweight' at least for the 80 cruiser. " middleweight?' Yet it actually, appears to be what really happened, not in as much as 1954, just because of S7 wheels but at the time This more automated EF machinery system began. I mean, Electro forging wasn't new but, the frames and apparent system, less manpower and increased automation was.
it's not really the wheel sizes but the actual frames in all scales became weaker and lighter.

To the extent that, that a full sized cruiser, ballooner became a 'Middleweight' at the same time the factory completely reengineered the system's frame shops, before 1963 to wit. IDK but maybe that difference we see in earlier frames being stronger, the newer frames, which are basically near same until Chicago closed, were breaking and so, Schwinn beefed em up for 65, 'Heavy-Duti. A neglect had to be solved to entertain a machine suitable as industrial purpose.
It's gone now, a little off topic, subject yet an clearer understanding of what's heavy and the evolution to simplify, less man power and increased automation too achieve the strength and durability Schwinn has been known for.
Understanding this, which I've understood for decades. The faster production moves the greater odds of error slipping through human inspection.Ĭomparatively, considering the difference of 54-when?, the 'heavy duty', in my opinion, is not as strong as prior. I think, in your case, Lobster dude, retired, Either Schwinn, cheeped out or it slipped through inspection. So, ya got a handle of where I can get some, local to me, 5 bucks a pound yum, yum Lobsters please.Motion pictures studos have been called “ ” dream factories ” and they are that- and more. He was speechless! He called our shop and told Noel that he made an old man very happy and drove him to tears of joy.They make graphic sociable, religious and historical comment in terms easily understood throughout the earth. Kim was overjoyed! She gave it to her Father as planned on Father’s Day. Once he reassembled it, the bicycle looked as it had when Kim’s Father had it years ago. Noel stripped the paint, sandblasted the frame and fork, primed, and painted the bicycle its original color. Some parts that were too far gone were replaced with new parts or eBay purchases.
He disassembled the bicycle and cleaned up many of the chrome parts in the parts washer. Noel got to work on the bike while he was working on other projects simultaneously. Therefore, we agreed upon Father’s Day for the reveal. Originally she hoped to be able to give it to him for Christmas, but our restoration schedule was booked up beyond Christmas. Kim was lucky enough to find it years later at a yard sale. Her Father had the bicycle as a child and it was sold at some point. She wanted it restored for her father within a budget. Kim checked out our restorations on our website and called us about a 1960s Schwinn Heavy Duti.
