So I have a frame that I'm not currently using and I'd like to add it to the decor of my family room, but I'm not sure of the best way to hang it. It's never been built, so making sure it doesn't get too scratched up is a priority. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of hook to use and what part of the bike to hang it from? I would like to hang it against a wall instead of from the ceiling, and it will most likely be on a wall that doesn't get walked past, if that makes a difference.
I'm sure this could be the dumbest question of the year, but I'd figure I'd ask before I just wandered around Home Depot.

Get 2 large nails, nail them into the wall at an angle, put bike on nails.... Or buy some bike wall stand.

I'd use a couple of picture hooks in the wall, and some picture hanger wire hooked to the seat post & head tube.

Install a small metal shelf and have a 1 1/8" tube welded to it. Install a headset onto the bike and slide it onto the tube. Run electrical wires through the frame and have the rear dropouts hold a lamp bulb. Voila: bike frame track lighting.
Or better yet, stuff the frame full of twizzlers and turn the BB area into a licorice dispenser.
