thats funny ... i helped design that bike ...it was a German design from Schauff called La Luna
we hade a welding computer who could bend the crmo tube and weld most of the frame together in one piece.... very very difficult to bend the crmo tubbe without wrinkles ,, but it could be done

than later a taiwan? korea ? company copied the frame and sold it over here. Problem was that it now was mild steel and heavy as a hog ... but much cheaper .... we had great components on it. they didnt .... Schwinn copied the same but ours looked much more grown up .... I hate that i sold mine ...

the two holes were great..... togethr with a car trunk carrier that stuff was great ...
