Ever make anything interesting out of old bike parts?
I made this clock today for the shop -- it's made from an old brake disc (begged from my LBS) and some clock parts from the craft store:

What do I make with old bike parts?
I make my wife wish that I'd take them down to the shed or throw them away.

very cool! I've been meaning to do something like that. I've got this big empty wall; thought it'd be interesting to have a big clock on it, made sort of an integral part of the wall itself, but that's a little too permanent. this gives me ideas.
btw, who is that in your avatar with Marvin?
cheers,
alex

A friend of mine made a pencil holder for his desk out of the part of a frame at the point where the bottom bracket meets the downtube. You stick the pencils in the downtube part.
