Im getting ready to do a 71 with some very minty parts from a 72 women's bike. Both Sierra brown. I love the way these ride. I live in the middle of a wind farm, so i like having the gears. Plus i just love old bikes

Columbia, ductile-steel garbage. The only thing that these old bikes have going for them is nostalgia. My bracket for rebuilds goes back to the mid 1980s, a time that witnessed the dawn of higher- quality bikes, particularly MTBs and, later, road bikes. Also what came in this time was standardization of metric for all fasteners.

The Typhoon had the same frame as the Schwinn Heavy Duti. Better paint. Different wheels/hubs and spokes. Per the Schwinn catalog the frame was "medium duty" but held up well over all the years. 😎
