well, no, but it's a cool bike and great photo set

The owners designed a really nice bike history archive into The CABE, and a bike like that belongs here.

One of these appears in the The Golden Age of Hand-Built Bicycles. They're so odd looking. I kind of like them, but I wouldn't throw that kind of money at it. There really cannot be that many around still - I'm surprised one just turns up on eBay like that and isn't at Copake or a private sale venue. They have some neat features and ideas to them.
 
not a question of taste, but of historic significance
a negative post? - that's a question of taste

A clean-sheet engineered bike frame in 1937 - very much like what's being done today with composite.
I'd rather have that one than this one, and they cost about the same.
(just in the past year, seen 3 of these being built at my LBS - and I don't drop by that often)

Even among the English, you'll find interesting and purposeful deviations from the basic diamond frame

If you check the links above, there are 4 of these bikes left, and apparently two of them functioning.

If posting an opinion is negative then this forum is shock full of negativity. If I had posted what I was thinking when I saw it "damn that is one ugly bike" that could be construed as negative!
 
that thin steel tube in the Funiculo Schulz probably had enough flex to act like a pivot, where aluminum would need a pivot to get the same effect.
A cushy ride was his reported purpose for this frame design.
