    On my '36 I have date code stamped '50 Sturmey Archer front and rear drum 3 speed wheels. I finally got the bike all cleaned up and took it for it's first real ride last night.

    http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell ... Z354193093 Within that ad, the guy is looking for $3500 for that penny farthing. I was about to make an offer of $300. I am just trying to wrap my head around $3500, there is no way that bike is actually worth that much. Is there?
