Miniature Model Bicycles made of wire-instructions/pattern needed
 
Several years ago a friend showed me how to make a simple, tiny(about the size of a half dollar) replica model of a road bike by bending a piece of jewelry wire( something like 18 or 20 gauge).

Failing that, www.instructables.com has all kinds of stuff like that. Might be something there.
