Don't have any info on either one but that first one is very cool. I like the way the bar connects to the head tube on the second bike. I have seen Loop Tails before but this is the first Loop Head bike I have seen.

The fork crown on the second one looks like the one I had on my Hercules but it's a much imitated design. I honestly have no clue but they are both cool.
Don't know if it's the same company but found this with a quick search

I was thinking the rear dropouts looked familiar on these 2 bikes. I was looking through my parts pile and saw a couple of bikes my brother gave me that have the same dropouts. The ones I have are marked Sturdee Bike and I think they were made in china. Hope this might help you find some info. I didn't have my camera with me but next time I will try to get a pic.

thanks all for your insights.. these bikes are really very strange, we need to trace the origin and make of these bikes.. and its original looks keep your insights coming, im sure somebody here will eventually unlock its identity....

Wow, very 8) score those are real neat bikes with unusual but nice look to them.

That first bike is uber cool! It reminds me of how we used to heat up Pepsi bottles with a torch and stretch and bend the necks. I've seen alot of bikes but I guarantee you I've never seen anything like that. Tell your friend to clean it up and ride it, its going to be a real attention getter

I looked at the 2 Sturdee bikes I have and they are made in Japan. The rear dropouts look identical to the ones on these bikes. I would bet they are all made by the same company in Japan and were probably sold under several different brand names.
