I re-purposed some of my old bike components and made a Picasso rip off.
The backing is also off cuts of hickory that were too long for the sidewalls on homemade skis.
This was actually pretty easy. I used a 27.2 mm seat post and then the stem, bars, and saddle from my old 2002 Banshee Scream.
There are 3 Beer can shims in between the stem and the seat post to make up for the 1.4 mm diameter difference.
The seat post is cut super short and I used a star fangled nut for a 1" steerer (yes, 1"), which fit in the seat tube really nicely (easily hammered in). Then a bolt and 2 sizes of washers to tighten it all down. Ta dah.
It's now hanging in my office at work, since apparently we have too much bike themed stuff at home already.
The original Picasso piece: Tete de Taureau
