I ran across a guy a couple days ago who had a helmet mount mirror, made out of all recycled products. Hand made, he thought by someone in Ohio. The mirror stalk and helmet clamp was made out of a rebent spoke. He caimed it was the best mirror he has ever used.

He said the guy was a vendor at some bicycle ralley..... didn't remember where.

Does anyone know what, or whom, I am talking about? And, where these things might be obtained???

i was just pondering this topic the other night while riding! a spoke could make a great arm! heres one i found on instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/Eyeglass-mounted-bicycle-mirror/) using a mission impossible/mechanics mirror. im sure there are some more ideas on that site.

are the mirrors typically beveled? a arts and crafts store nearby has a large assortment of small mirrors. not sure if they have anything other than flat though...
