Not my ride but...

This isn't my ride, but it's sure a pretty funky bike to say the least... ;-)

Yeah, those are some monster yellow tires. And what is that weird bracket welded to the frame by the lock.

It looks like a step through frame.
What's unusual is the down tubes look to be bent in a "U" shape from one piece of tubing.
Then a headtube welded in place on the bend.
Is there any special reason for the "V" brake to be behind the fork or is it just to be different?

Yeah, I just noticed that too, That is a funky looking bike.

Not really sure about all the details on the bike.

It's a "Batavus" bicycle. That's all I know
