This is a 2010 Taiwan made Schwinn Sprint fixed gear bike with track geometry. Tubing is Reynolds 853, and it's designed with a similar reinforcement on the bottom of the DT/HT joint. I've seen these on other brands/models and have assumed that they're there to mitigate DT wrinkling of thin-wall tubing in case there's a front end collision.
