Nexus 7 speed hub. This bike has gone through several changes since being built around 2003

Current state in 2023

As it was after completion, 2003. I loved the drag bars but it was too uncomfortable on my lower back.

Some before and after shots of this little cutie we re-did for the wifey. I'm guessing it was originally a Typhoon or some other Schwinn Middleweight.
(Obviously it's not a Hollywood - that's how she got her name "Hollyweird")
We picked it up cheap as someone had powdercoated it pink.

Dipped my foot into the waters of using paint over decals and felt pretty good about my results:

Since these photos were taken we've added new repro bow pedals, a black seatpost and found the correct rear fender reflector.
 
1942 Elgin that was built over the winter of 2023/24.
Before anyone's panties get in a bunch (which never happens here on this site, thankfully) I'm aware that a '42 would not have had a rack nor a tank ... but I had'em on hand - so there ya' go ;)
I'm almost embarrassed to say this bike has not left the confines of the house yet.
