I've tried image search and i'm having a hard time. I just want to throw my money at whoever made it.

Also if someone could help me identify this bike as well that would be cool.

Is a Pashley?

>>1039759
I think you could be right. Thanks for the start.

Any luck on figuring out second pic? >>1039758

Pashley Guv'nor is a reasonable approximation that's available new... but it's $$$$
Raleigh offers the Tourist Deluxe in Denmark.. also $$$$
Alternately, see if you can scare up an old Raleigh DL-1 in reasonable condition

That looks like a Raleigh 3-speed. Good city bikes, and dependable as all hell. You can find them on Craigslist occasionally, and all the time on eBay for reasonable prices. I just picked up one myself from one of Raleigh's "B" marques for $165.

Christ.
This is the sort of bike a hipster buys and carefully poses in the entryway of their apartment, riding it perhaps twice a year.

Some sort of awful early 90s mountain bike. Those rear brakes must barely work at all with that terrible straddle cable angle, and I'd bet the frame flexes so much that the rear derailleur shifts itself every time you hit a bump. Someone's gone and put some modern Onza tires on there, which are only available in 27.5" (not 26") so the mechanical advantage on the cantis is even lower now.

Assuming the drivetrain is OE, the XT M732 or M735 derailleurs with the M737 pedals and M730 crank puts it in the '89-'93 timeframe.

No, it's just a legit 100 year old bike. You can tell from the cranks. It's not a modern reproduction.

These bikes were great when horses ruled the road (horses are afraid of bicycles FYI)

Ride one on a shared road now and you have a death wish

>>1039757
I can't imagine those handlebars are particularly comfortable to use.

Relaxed seating position.

explain this meme to me.
how dose shifting all your weight away from your hands and feet to your ass make a bike more comfortable?
>>
>>1040046
Some people have back problems that are genuinely painful with a more prone position; some just feel safer around city traffic ("more comfortable") because they feel like they can see/be seen better if they're more upright. It's unquestionably a recipe for ass pain on long rides, though.

>>1040046
by having a different saddle than a road bike ? It's really not hard to understand : are you inconfortable when you sit on a chair ?

That was an intentional choice on the DL-1, even after WW2. It was supposed to be robust and extremely easy to service while being used for rural work. But there's no excuse for the replicas being made now to not have updated brakes. It isn't the 1950s anymore.

>carry handle for shouldering it?
I am pretty sure I've seen it posted here (together with $130 price tag).
As well as the banana holster.

>Where can I buy a bike like this?
At certain bike shops
>What kind of bike this?
It's a single speed, rear wheel drive bicycle with two wheels
