    I think it’s just broken, with a bend in the bottom tube right near the crank.

      It’s definitely bent, lower bar is bent just above the crank, also the two thinner tubes above the lower bar should be welded to the tube holding the saddle but are now almost touching the rear wheel. If you’d sit on this, chances are it’ll break in half.

        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.
