Looks like a Pletscher bicycle has a Pletscher plate on the seat stays. I never knew they ever made a bike, this CL ad claims this is a Pletscher bike, unique but I doubt anyone here would really in particular wish to have such a bike. One picture. And does the kickstand almost look as long as the chainstay? Pletscher I think made/makes kickstands too.



Even the handlebar, wrapped like this throws me a bit:
