Meet Virginia, Smooth Bahama Blaster, Lake Loafer, Pirate's Princess, Carribean Queen, Whiskey Girl
Started this bike with no clear direction other than I wanted it to have a BMX style.
It's an unknown post-Chicago Schwinn "cruiser" with twin top tubes.
Lucked into a super smooth shifting Shimano Nexus-4 IGH 4-speed coaster brake wheelset. Then finally went with the smooth Bahama blue paint. Added some BMX style parts, a snazzy seat, big fat nobby tires, and some repurposed thrift store bling.
Pretty simple build. But in the end it's all I had wanted and a few things I'd have never done if not in the build-off. Although the studded faux leather "darts", or arrows, make a nice frame protector in a vulnerable area.
A jack of all trades master of none. With a somewhat unique look, if a bit gaudy.

Sorry for the low-res, and poor lighting.
