Now I'm blushing. Here's an idea, though. The next time you restore a bike, dress it to the nines with your hand-made creations and take some pictures. Post said bike on various craigslists or ebay and offer to ship it anywhere. See what kind of offers you get. I think there's a sizable market for hand-crafted bikes, especially outside of your area. It's basically the market Rivendell and other niche bike makers hope to fill, and I'm sure there's room for a unique artist like yourself to fit in. If you ever do this, post the link on BF. I might want to bid on it myself!
