Suggest a woodworking use for a bike frame
Hey all, I have a fairly recent, expensive looking bike going to the tip but I'm wondering if there are any inventive types here who could suggest a use for it in my workshop. Has everything, shock absorbing front forks too many gears to count, pedals and sprocket but no wheels.
Cheers

Not exactly woodwork but wood milling using a chainsaw mill.
The farm itself is usually too thin to do much with but the another bits and pieces can be useful
You might get some ideas from these
Handle bar stem and handlebar grip used for mill handle
Bike brake handle used for remote throttle
Part of brake calliper and cable used for remote throttle
I can't find a picture of it but I use a bike gear lever and cable to control the auxiliary oil flow.
Bike chain used to crank mill up and down.
BMX front forks uses as a CS engine stand

As a useful item or jig in the workshop I don't really have any suggestions. If you wanted art piece maybe you can turn part of it into a clock and hang it on the wall?

What the video doesn't show is that he still had his wife, kids and mother-in-law on the back too!
Here is the motorised version:

With a bit of engineering you could make a pedal powered multi-torque lathe out of it
