Cool stuff, growing up there used to be a guy down the street that knew I was into bicycles and would occasionally talk me out of a spare bicycle wheel or two. He ended up making something real similar but it was just the wheels.

I'd be over there trying to swap him something for that tank bike on the pole!!! :shock: -Adam

If I made one it would be a old 20" tanker bike. Instead of paint I would want RUST, and instead of The crazy colored fins I would take bare metal.

Randy...those are really cool! Any chance of a close up to see how he made those rims. Good stuff :mrgreen:

@mitch he does have some sort of windmill thing made from wheels. I assume you know where this is at?

@SimpleMan I'll see what I can do.

Thanks...looks pretty simple to do. I appreciate your time to get that. I've been wanting to put up some kind of wind vane out back. That would be excellent......and inexpensive. You've just gave me a winter project to work on :mrgreen:
