Another ugly bike

[C.S.]

Took this off the street after some months watching it being lonely. A longer seat post, air in the tires, handlebar adjustment and a newer type spring in the very old Shimano coaster brake, that was all.
(If there is a rightful owner somewhere please contact me.)

The part that I fell for

I don't know what it is, somebody wrote "Brandaris" on it which isn't a bike brand name, but IS the name of a lighthouse on Terschelling, one of the Frisian isles, so I suspect that this is a former rental bike from over there.

It's a stray dog. Feed it and take care of it. The bike kinda reminds me of my pug. Both good looking.

By any chance does the tube disscounect from the head tube? Sparta makes one that looks like that that disscouncts. neat bikes

No. It is just a compact bike, 22" wheels and that handle in the frame for easy storage.
The style is similar to some Union folding bikes and kids bikes, so I think that's what it is.
For some Dutch folding bikes, have a look here: http://www.oudefiets.nl/4typ-vouwendeel.html

Must have been a long night, it was resting against a wall for several months with flat tires, in a street without pubs.

Something strange is happening to me: I find myself looking for more small ugly bikes....
