Austrian, not English, and wildly overpriced. Probably a candidate for the Wacky thread except it appears to be a 1954 bike for sale by the original owner.

Comfortable ride, shifting smoothly between gears, this bicycle is great looking. fun to ride and very collectable. In my personal experience, it will be a conversation piece where ever you go!
My big Christmas 11 year old Christmas gift in 1954, so I hate to part with it. But I'm too old to ride it now and someone else should enjoy it.
If convenient, can meet in Williamsburg to deliver bicycle. Cash only, please.
Will wear mask, please do also. Thanks!
