My newest project:

Late Teens/20's Schwinn Built Electric. Bike made an appearance on the CABE in 2013

1926-30 schwinn motorbike/excelsior? | Antique Bicycles Pre-1933

So I finally got an old bike, my next oldest is a 1947 Murray mercury. Based off of research it appears to be a 26-30 schwinn tagged electric, I don't know if it had a tank or chain guard but it is for the most part complete! Btw sorry for the double post on this topic should've posted here first

thecabe.com

Then it lingered on CL in Southern Oregon for a while. Happened to have a contact out there who was able to go snag out for me and now it's finally in the ATL. I hope to start digging into it soon

Pics are before it was shipped

Looks like this right now cleaning up real nice .
Rehabbed seat and found nos right crank to replace original welded up junk .
These bars and pedals make it a nicer riding bike .
Only found 1 picture of another one that guy says Raleigh built but serial number doesn't jive I think Hercules because of fork and seat stays

Is it a Hercules?

Sweet ride brother! I just added the same wheels to my westfield.

They make a nice looking and riding wheelset, but you have to be careful because the come in 36 and 40 hole varieties

Awesome Excelsior! Has anyone seen a headlight mounted with a bracket under the front fender?

So many cool wheels and so envious! I feel like Charlie Brown at Halloween , all I got is a bare house painted frame with a badge ghost...
Better get on this project before I'm too old to ride it.

Has anyone seen a headlight mounted with a bracket under the front fender?

Looks like quite a bit of artist’s rendering; no crank drive pin to mess up a beautiful snowflake; two things below the seat stay bridge; rear carrier rack with only a left side brace to the seat post pinch bolt, and three braces to the right side axle; 2 extra bands above the tank toolbox; rounded crank arm/leg left, diamond right.
