That's extraordinarily RAD. Let me know when you start selling these.

PS- in the 90's, I had a SS chain bracelet. Super-embarrassing to confess...

 

[Flying Zombie]

I kept a bike chain wire-tied together and wore it as a necklace for a while., the bracelet sounds much more comfortable..

Nice. how about a "how-to"?

 

[Rebel_56]

Haha that's rad.

I made a bunch of these chain belt buckles while ago. Wear one every day..

 

[farmallman]

How did you make that belt buckle? Ive been wanting to do something like this for years.

Alright., I love the Belt and the Buckle to boot.
I've been thinking up ways to fund my bike habits lately and came up with this.. [not a bike part, but an accessory!] Shot Sling for all you Beer Bike and Pub Run enthusiasts! For your handlebars or belt.

I think I'll do that!

I'm going out on a limb here but I assume the How To is something like this:
1: Cut tread from tire.
2: Put holes in one end.
3: Put buckle on other end.
4: If buckle accidentally gets attached to wrong end, add holes to other end.

My buddy has a bike spoke as a bracelet.

Has worn it for as long as I've know him.

rubber fetishes have been around for years, the fashion forward rubber couture below were all made from inner tubes, except for the last pic of tire belts.

I guess Ill have to make some old timer inner tube suspenders. Gravity made my butt drop and everything ends out around my ankles. Hard to ride when your shorts keep getting caught on the front of the seat. This is probably too much information.

Yeah that's all fine and well, but I'm more preferential to shinny latex... can't find it on prewar bikes!
Although I bet you could make some wicked shorts out of that Schwinn metal flake 'naner seat material!

BTW, cool belt... gotta kenda knobby that's not in use.
