Penny Farthing!?!

Hi all,

Had to respond to this ad in craigslist:

https://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/1133005590.html

No pictures or info, of course. I spoke to the owner, who claims he found it in a scrap yard years ago. Sadly, he has repainted it silver, but claims it is functioning with all it's original parts. He indicated the front wheel was over his waist and the rear wheel is "very, very small". Anyhow I can't resist going to look at it - I will see it in person at 1:30pm tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

That sounds like a child's toy if the front wheel is that small. I wouldn't even waste the time going to see it.
