Sorry...I forgot all about this auction until today...and, granted, it isn't entirely relevant, but last year I got to looking for Victorian bicycles and this particular auction house seems to be the epicenter for such interests. Their 17th Annual Classic Bicycle Auction is this weekend.

Then again, maybe you just want one of those big-front-wheel things to decorate your front porch with. ...(One of my 1890s photos of our house shows a regular sort of bicycle sitting on the front porch).
