Strange collecting habits

I work in a second hand book shop and my boss is an inveterate collector of weird things and at one stage, the shop window was full of wire bicycles of all sizes and styles. They got very dusty and were impossible to clean and the previous manageress took them all down and put them in a box somewhere. They have since disappeared and it's a pity because they were rather fun. This is one of 2 remaining bicycles and the only one I could photograph adequately. They are made by local wire artists who hawk them in the streets.

Another view. I like the meticulous attention to detail.
