It's lighter than my mountain bike!!!
I'd luv to have a sub-30 pound klunker for the trails around here. It would dominate with style!!!
It is a Schwinn Heavy Duti. I didn't do much besides strip it down. I removed the fenders and the chain guard. No baskets, no racks, no front brake. I put an aluminum chain ring on it, but it still has the steel crank. I installed fairly light aluminum pedals too. It could be lighter if I replaced the Brooks saddle, the steel handlebars, and the really heavy tires.
