Lot 527
A circa 1870 Vélocipède.
An English pattern bicycle with its original 36-inch front wheel in remarkably good condition with its original enamel finish, the 30-inch rear wheel being a quality replacement, and also in good fettle. The bearings have been refurbished, and the steering head is sound; the seat support has apparently been replaced, the twist grip 28-inch handlebars have turned oak grips, and also featured are triangular pedals, hock rests and a brake. A much later 20th century candle lamp is fitted.
