This is a faithful replica - by \"The Unforgettable Big-Wheel\" of N. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago - of the Penny Farthing type \"ordinary bikes\" of the 1870s-1880s. It is in good condition as a display piece for nostalgia and ambiance; if desired to be restored into functional riding condition this would be possible and would require service to (or replacement of) the saddle, tires, and brake mechanism. This would be a unique conversation piece to vintage home decor, or could be used to create ambiance for a rustic Bed & Breakfast, restaurant, or Bike store. Looks as good as a genuine antique but at less cost! Or with a little effort make it functional and ride in local parades or just for fun and innovation!
