Syd Barrett Auction

The final possessions of Syd Barrett are to be auctioned in Cambridge on 29th & 30th November. Amongst the items set to go under the hammer are pieces of artwork from the Pink Floyd founder, some signed, which have never been seen before. Also up for sale are his bikes, which were hand painted by Syd. In a statement, Cheffins Auctioneers commented: "The auction will consist of items left by Syd in his Cambridge house. Syd spent his last years living a quiet, yet content life in Cambridge. "Both his bikes, which he had used every day in Cambridge for visits to the local shops and pub were hand painted by Syd and will be included in this sale as will several pieces of furniture which Syd customised or made himself. Pictured below are some of the items going under the hammer, including Syd's bikes, and his hand made speakers
