The two thinner tubes should be connected to the rear dropouts as a third set of stays. (Classic mixte frame) These dropouts look to be from a different bike, so someone just chopped them off.

I suspect it’s two separate bikes welded together. The wheel sizes are different front and back.
The back and front seem to be from 2 different bikes, with different size wheels. Front was a mixte and the twin tubes were chopped off when it was welded to the back, which seems to be from a single speed cruiser type bike. The downtube of the mixte was bent near the bottom bracket to make it fit.
It’s a mess, whatever it is.
Good question. I can’t figure out what the heck this thing is. Most people’s knees would be hitting the handlebars constantly.

1·3 months agoWhen I worked in downtown Calgary my old touring bike was left locked to outside racks all day and never got stolen. Probably because it was a deeply uncool bike that no self respecting methhead would want to be seen with, ha ha.

Do not carry grocery bags from your handlebars. I did that when I was a teenager and now I have bridgework where my upper front teeth once were.
Thank you for sharing. Most of us have been there and we all carry our previous cats around in our hearts.

4·6 months agoFour teaspoons isn’t very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.
