Bike art for the shop wall

[Jkrate1985]

Recently made this fish for my shop wall out of half of a JC Higgins girls tank that's been laying around for a while and a few utensils. Simple but adds a little something to the shop wall. Anyone else got some cool things they have built with bike parts??



The back doesn't look too pretty but youll never see it when hanging on the wall.

What a great idea! Now anyone who has just one half of a tank can actually do something with it!

After seeing the artist originals,Made a bunch of fish over the last year or so. These are the only two I have pics of, raffled them off for charity. I have made some more things but don't have any photos.

What are you making the heads out of, are those "shoe stretcher" parts?

Wow, that artist has a lot of cool things! Thanks for sharing the link. I actually saw one of these at a swap meet in Freemont NE about five years ago and have made a few for gifts since then. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the one I saw was inspired by this guy, he looks like a pretty creative thinker. I've got a few of the slim line Schwinn girls tanks like he used on a couple...I might have to sacrifice them!

Cool stuff, I'd seen this a while back and it was always one of my favorite "bike art" pieces too
