If you have stripped down an old road bike and turned it into a fashionable'n'fun fixed-gear machine, you will have a bunch of parts left over. Once you have weighed them in your hands and laughed maniacally at the sheer weight of the gear cassettes and brake assemblies you no longer have to carry with every single revolution of the pedals, you might wonder if you can recycle them.
If so, you may consider a rather stylish clock, just like those made by Kenneth Armstrong. He has been tinkering with cogs, disk-brakes and even entire wheels for seven years, combining parts into these sculptural timepieces. There's something of the steampunk about these, and if you check out Armstrong's site, you'll see he's been rather busy, turning out locking posts made form old d-locks and tables fashioned from bike wheels and tubing. There's even a rather uncomfortable but cool-looking chair welded from old handlebars. We love them.
