I'm in with this unknown frame. No serial # that I could find. Maybe a Bratz bike or similar offshore frame.

I found the bars and seat at a swap meet several years ago, just been sitting around waiting for a frame.
The chainring/guard is kinda neat, I'll probably try to get it straightened out and reuse it.

I plan to use these Schwinn exerciser rims.

I'll be using this Shimano coaster. Haven't looked for a front hub yet.

And some more exerciser parts.
 
Got the old seat post clamp off that had been spot welded to the seat post. I have a nice shiny one to replace it.

I think I will try this fork. After checking, I didn't have a suitable stem to fit the other fork. I have a nice shiny stem that came from a Raleigh exercise bike. I'll replace the bolt with something less dorky.

Dreigang means 3 speed hub.

Dreigangschaltung...??? 3 speed hub switch?
 
hub = Nabe
Dreigang means just 3-speed
Dreigangschaltung = 3-speed gearshift (could mean derailleur also)
hub switch (or gear hub) = Nabenschaltung
So, pretty correct!
My German is a bit rusty, haven't spoken it for about 35 years. But it's amazing how some things can pop back in your head.
Glad I was close, I would have felt like a dufus.🤣
