Looks a lot like an old tradesman's work bicycle, more commonly seen with 
the small front wheel (and level racks--something seems amiss there.) Some 
would have had advertising signage attached to those tubes. I'm guessing 
that's a good fifty pounds of bicycle right there. Not including the extra 
top tube.
