Has Anyone Made a Piece of Furniture from Bike Parts??
I'm thinking of making a cool lamp from some forks.
Has anyone made furniture from bike parts like sprockets, forks, bars, whatever?
I found this online, from car engine parts and thought it was ![]()
Post 'em up!

I haven't personally, but it seems that chairs and tables are the main items

Re: Has Anyone Made a Piece of Furniture from Bike Parts??
I made a wall clock out of a GT mag years ago. but couldnt get it to hang right.
I bet fork lamps would sell, it's a good idea.
Where the music stinks, and they water the drinks, at the nudie bar.
Where the girlies dance in their underpants, at the nudie bar.
Where you see their butt, and their trap stays shut, at the nudie bar.
Where you can’t touch a breast, but you can cave in a chest, at the nudie bar.
Where you look at a thigh, and blacken an eye, at the nudie bar.
Where a buck’s enough to see their stuff, at the nudie bar.
Where the breasts may be fake but man do they shake, at the nudie bar.
Where you swear like a sailor, and wish you could nail her, at the nudie bar.

Re: Has Anyone Made a Piece of Furniture from Bike Parts??
A kid got hit by a car in my hometown. At the spot where he got killed, right outside a shop, the guys made a cross by welding some camshafts together and stuck it in the ground. They even give the kid's family free oil changes. Talk about cool!
I've seen a few benches made out of snowboards and skis when I lived up in Plattsburgh. Pretty cool.

First off, my bad. Just saying I've seen stuff made from sports stuff. A little off-topic, yeah.
Secondly, get over yourself. Why would I think it was cool a kid got killed? I thought it was cool of the shop owner to give the kid's folks free oil changes, and for one of the employees to take the time and effort to make a memorial for the kid. Chill.![]()

A user here has an avatar with what looks like a chair made of bike wheels on a dock or something. Can't for the life of me remember who, but it sure doesn't look very comfortable. ![]()

Re: Has Anyone Made a Piece of Furniture from Bike Parts??
I made a desk for my son out of two frames I cut the chainstays off and drilled two holes in the seat tubes and lag bolted the frames to the wall then used 3/4" a grade plywood for the desk top and nothing was wasted the chainstays were mounted to the top of the desk for some book ends I wish I could find a pic of it I did that in my house in Florida so I don't have it anymore hopefully o can find a pic somewhere I'll look

Not a furniture but I've hacked an old BMX frame and converted the rear triangle to a truing stand (it was a Walmart bike)

Re: Has Anyone Made a Piece of Furniture from Bike Parts??
In my shed I srayed an old Tuff bright green and wired a light in the center. It also has a KMC chain running next to the cord too. It just hangs in my shed from the ceiling, its not amazing... but its different.
I may have a pic........
here we go..
