Of course, a classic heavyweight cruiser isn't suitable for every one.... when it weighs 40 lbs.
40 pounds?!? You had a light weight! My old J.C. Higgins weighed in at 63.25 pounds (bathroom scale, with and without the bike when I was on the scale.) I'm not sure how much weight the 3 speed internal geared crank I put on added to the tonnage.
