It may be a modified steering side like that guy said ,but My dad says he's seen one of them before. He said he's seen an identical one in a museum before but he can't remember what it is or what museum he saw it in.I don't know anything about bikes that old, but I do know that my dad is usually dead on when it comes to machines so I'de take what he said into advisement.

That design is early---Starley of Coventry built one in 1876
