Is that a crack in the 2nd pic by the pivot?

Looks very similar to a Kent Pomona. There are not too many dual suspension cruiser/comfort bikes out there. Also a Schwinn Midtown.

Thx, sorry i did not post it were it belongs, i was a little confused haha
Not cracked at all, just really dirty and some scratches too
Thx for your post, i'll be looking into those Kent Pomona to find if they match. My friend and i were really amazed when we met to analize the frame, at least here in Uruguay we had never seen something similar with oversized headtube, so now we are really looking forward to discover it's procedence haha

I actually faintly remember seeing a full suspension cruiser from the 50s built similar to this, but with a springer fork. I think it was a link somebody posted on Velospace years ago, never could find it again. It was a cantilever frame with a tank, springer fork, and I think dual rear springs built in the wheel stays, like this bike.

Crack isn't surprising since there is nothing to accommodate the "travel" (minute as it is) and the pivot isn't concentric with the BB. Works for good steel or Ti frames. not cheap Al.

I saw it once personally, so it's ok, i'm wrong, it's cracked, thx for opening my eyes about it haha, my friend fell in love with the frame so i'm pretty sure he is going to fix it. Thx again for the info, really useful. I promise to upload photos as soon as the bike is ready to go!
