No front brake and a quick release on the seatpost!

There's no way that's a real tube - it's either Photoshop, or some kind of bodge with plastic tube or something.

Could it (k)not be made from many short wedge-shaped sections smooth-welded together?

Judging by that brake bridge, looks like someone's modded an old gas-pipe frame - probably lots of short sections welded together

It looks a hoot. I like it. But wouldn't want to ride it.
? an old frame with a section taken out of the top tube and replaced with some easily bendable i.e. not suitable for a bike tubing.
