| Mar 21, 2021 at 19:48 | comment | added | Sarah Lebens | I have the same bicycle, I think. I’m having trouble uploading an image. There is a serial number on the under side which reads 7H280640. It steers in the front. It’s old and rusted. I can’t figure out who and when it was made. | |

| Jul 9, 2018 at 11:03 | comment | added | MadMarky | The frame is also missing the triangle shape in the rear, it really doesn't look that sturdy at all. Better not ride it with two heavy persons i'd say... | |
| Jul 7, 2018 at 0:13 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Definitely old -- likely prior to 1950. The frame layout does suggest that the bike was modified to be a tandem, vs being that way from the start, but if that were the case there would probably be awkward things about the drive train layout, and it looks fairly clean (from here). (But examine closely that rear bottom bracket area for signs of modification.) | |
| Jul 6, 2018 at 22:56 | comment | added | James Gugelstuphukenmuch Moore | That rear fork looks very unusual, that may well be the deciding factor in identifying a manufacturer... though to me that does suggest chopper or home made. | |
