Ways to reuse an old bike
Hey, guys, I have a really old bike at home that is beyond repair. I don't to want to throw it away since I have a lot of memories associated with it. While doing a bit of research online I saw a blog about upscaling ( https://www.junk-works.ca/locations/blog/2017/01/03/10-tips-for-upcycling/ ). Some of the tips mentioned in this were pretty useful. Have you guys ever reused the parts of an old bike as a decor before? If you have then, how did you do it? It would be great to get some suggestions on this.

These designs are really cool.Thanks guys.
I think you can decided to transform your old bicycle into something beautiful and useful. You can put it in the garden and decorate it with pots full of flowers or you can use it to hold a sink in the bathroom surfacing.

I've not done it, but have toyed with the idea with an old mountain bike. I've considered hanging the frame, forks and stem on the wall. Would probably want to tidy up some scratched paintwork though...
I have not done any of this myself yet, but have seen the following and thought that they looked good:

Drop Bar & Saddle Bike Hooks
