Often - but not always!

Here is another interesting bike, a Nopsa-26.
It says "Strada" on the head tube which sounds
like Italian for street.

The frame doesn't have a top tube! But only
a thick, down/diagonal tube.


I would never ride that bike because it doesn't seem to have a front
brake. All it takes is coming down the hill, the chain flies off for
some reason and you are toast. Also, braking will be very sluggish if
you get into an emergency situation if no front brakes.

Other than that those single-tube designs were popular with folding
bikes. My mom had one but, of course, that did have a front brake. Here
is an example:

It has the old fashioned flat ground rear coaster brake. Most bicycles made by Schwinn in the early days were that type.
