I was browsing Gizmodo and saw two 1870s monocycle replicas. Not quite
the expected gizmos you'd expect to find at that site.

One of them is for sale if you've got a spare $13,000 (USD).

Did it sell? The auction ended with zero bids after the seven day
auction expired. If it is sold then it sold outside of the eBay
system.

I though I saw a bid on it. Maybe I'm mistaking. Or maybe the bid was
cancelled or rejected; this item also got a lot of atention from other
sites and blogs.
