Let's see those things never meant for a bike on your bike!

A lot of cool stuff put on your bikes, a gold V for 58 Plymouths will be put on the front of my Christine bike when I get it done.

suicide brakes.(rear hun on the front wheel.)

you is crazy. :wink:
suicide brakes were meant for bicycles from the get go. :lol:

 

[herr_rudolf]

Very cool stuff guys!
I like that mtb-stem as a seatpost idea. And wow DoubleNickle... Didn't realized till now that that brake set-up was yours... :shock: 8)
Hope to see a lot more of these ideas in this thread in the future.

Here are some of mine:

^ Aluminum strips and L-profiles. Plain and ribbed. It lends for a convincing ArtDeco/Streamline vibe. I've used it for racks, fenders, chainguards, fenderbraces, lightbraces, and quickreleasprotectors... Also used for lakespipestyle endcaps on my handlebars. The plastic strip is a piece of blinds. Used that succesfully as fenders before I took pics of evereything I did to my bikes...

^ Assortiment of doorhandles. I picked out one to cut and grind into a sleek billet-like lightbracket.

^ Out of these I picked the curved wooden seat to cut in pieces and mount on my rack. I fastend it with pieces of broomstick, cut in half.

^ A very cheap red trailerlense in a bicycle lightbucket mouted on the rear. Upholsterynails to make the cheap modern ATB seat look vintage-ish...

:lol: Maybe but maybe not, one of the cars left from the movie was almost lost becasue the place they took it to be restored was being investigated by the government but he was lucky to get it out before that happened.

That's a nice finishing touch. The paint reminds me of my friend's car he had in high school the hot pink and black rat rod Cadillac. Seriously it was a boat but a boat with style.

Bottle Opener:

Girvin Flexstem as a seatpost (yeah, I know it's still a bike part, but...)

...yeah it was a little sketchy disarming this thing but well worth the risk :lol:
LED conversion and I am currently trying to rig the on/off switch to the handle...

 

[socal_jack]

US Navy Headlamp, swapped an LED bulb in, dremeled off headlamp bracket re-wired with cloth wires, painted black and bent up some conduit hangers, some clamps to attach on struts, and blam bicycle headlight with remote battery pack. (belt buckle clip visible below, still on there)

I've had it around for years. It's real just never had the charge installed. I have bombs, torpedoes, grenades. Weird, huh?

Army Surplus has all kinds of fun stuff to work with.

 

[Lugisland]

I made a fake springer out of an exerciser spring and MTB forks. Attached the spring to the brake mounts and headset with eye bolts and muffler clamps.
