Schwinn Heavy Duti

[GasX]

I just got a Schwinn Heavy Duti and I am trying to decipher the serial number

On the bottom bracket it reads: SNTCA06J00219

From what I can tell, it MAY be a japanese made bike from September 1976, but the plethora of letters at the front has me confused.

Anyone able to clarify?

pics are best, sounds like a Pacific #

I also was just surprised to find out the steerer tube is 1 1/8". I was expecting 1"...

Also, there were chain guard and kickstand tabs on the frame up until about an hour ago...

made within the last 13 years i would bet. I dont know if the pacific serial #'s even decode into a year or model.

heres the 2013 model

around 2005 /2006 they started looking like this

2001

1981 was the last time they were made like this in the catalogs

between 81 and 2000 I can't find much mention of them, they used the later style frames on the supreme cruisers before using the heavy duti name again though,

Thanks - it was quite a revelation to find the 1 1/8" steerer. I was planning my build based on 1" and its limitations. I'd also bought a 1" bmx stem.

Now I am rethinking everything down to the color I'd settled on with the powdercoater...
