A bike in the kitchen! My wife's idea!

Good idea to removed half the handlebar, of find a another set to chop in half, you might also remove the pedal on that side. You might want to look at crating a ledge to set the wheels on, then some hooks with chain to hang the bike at an angle down. Lucky you can get away with it.

That's an interesting idea. I'll think about that. Thanks.

For your display, try it with the seat all the way down and the handlebars level. Gary

Will do. I know it doesn't look right the way is.

I understand trying to get it close to the wall, but it seems to me that the cut off bar and missing pedal might be a distraction because it is unnatural and would possibly draw your eyes to it.

On the other hand, it could look pretty cool if you make it look like it is projecting through the wall by having the cut end perfectly flush against the wall and cutting a pedal in half and also have it flush to the wall.

Either way, it's a fun idea! The key to really making it the focal point is to finish it off with it's own light. Good luck!
