Dirk and all; I've never had much luck with yard finds etc with bikes, but a close freind years ago was driving along in Milton, Mass and noticed what he thought was a handle bar sticking up through a pile of leaves on someones front lawn. He got out of his auto and rummaged through the leaves to find most of an early 1909 BSA track bike. Turns out it belonged to the current owner's grandfather who raced it in his younger days. The BSA was almost complete except for mismatched pedals, and the wooden rims which were long gone replaced by alloy. My freind rode off with a free BSA which he lovingly restored.
