OMG, grabbing at straws, ck the eBay description, 0 bids, maybe get some if they dropped 3 zeros!, I’ve seen a few over the yrs they cut out to use the firewood and the bike to scrap!

​

One of a kind!! Extremely rare 1950s Higgins bicycle encased in a tree. Bicycle was chained to a tree on a south texas ranch and discovered by a tree arborist,and he carefully cut it out. The only 2 bicycles found in a tree in America are 1 in bicycle heaven museum in Pennsylvania as there number 1 attraction, and the other is a tourist attraction in Washington state. This is the first one of its kind up for public sale for private ownership. Great for an art collector,or for a one of its kind conversation piece. There will never be another one like this for sale in the world. Imagine this piece as the storefront for your bike shop, beer tavern, or Restaurant. This piece commands immediate attention and leaves forever memories. You can't wait for the next one to come along because there is no next one. Freight listed is for the lower 48 states. Will work with international shipping at buyers expense. Reserve the right to end the auction prior to close.

AGREE with Dave S.. waaaaaay cooler enshrined in the tree.. and more valuable..

maybe protect/preserve the wood or inscribe something on the back of the cut part.

def dont remove it!!

I like the idea about inscribing something in the back to preserve where and when this bicycle tree was harvested.
