Thanks for bubbling this thread back to the top. I had never seen it before.
Here are some contributions from me.

BEER RUN had skateboards, beer bottle, beer cans, bottle operner, plus 100+ other beer parts. Car steering wheel, chandelier tube on steering column, etc.

More recently it also had pizza screens in the wheels before it was hung at my buddy's restaurant.

FUGSLEY has water ski rear rack (and soon front rack too). It also has Harley Davidson motorcycle tires.

Moped frame.

And one I've never mentioned on this site, the motorcycle in which I dumped the engine, and turned into a pedal bike using moped parts. NONE of this one is bicycle parts.

my tentative future school colors bike. if i get it worked out in the next couple days, it'll also get a sort of bike hood ornament made from a keychain.
 
I had an old kickstand that was probably from a 24" that had been put on 40 years earlier so I extended it by drilling an old pool ball. The can is a used paint hardener can which holds 4 C size batteries and has a switch in the cap.
The 8 ball really worked well in sand.

Found both of these in my Dad's barn. About 50 of these old locker tags. Riveted one on the rear fender.

An old drawer pull, minus the ring, on the front "fender"

I'm not sure why I didn't post this one earlier on. Sickle blade chainguard. Some farm implement for a rear fender, carb parts, and about 20 lbs of unneccessary steel.

All of these were beautiful bikes. I really dug the rear hub/frontwheel suicide brake. That,and the use of car tail lights. It's also good to see peeps still riding burrito bikes. To the guy who built the drop spindles out of brake shoe backings, I gotta try that myself. I got some scrap steel laying around I think.
 
Skateboard Grip Tape (with flames cut out) for my water ski rear rack on Fugsley.

i like this. hard to tell in this pic (i never took a specific pic of it) but there's a piece of square tube welded to the middle of the front handlebar for something similar, but i never worked out what it would be

also in relation to the thread, the backrests are from a motorcycle, the thicker foam grips on the rear handlebars is pipe insulation, and the saddlebags are backpacks.
