Bicycle Frame Projects Ideas wanted

[Terry Collins]

Okay, I scrounge old bicycles that get thrown out and use the frames for
various projects (bicycle trailers, art, etc). This is easy to do with
ye olde diamond frame, but I am at a loss for useful projects that
utilise these "modern", egg/oval profile one tube design on the basic
mtb they sell.

Looking for ideas, url's, etc.

Scrounging this christmas was very successful and I have five frames to
utilise.

Try www.cruzbike.com

Somewhere recently, I've also seen something that basically used the
**** end rotated and connected to rectangular RHS and front end on the
other end of the RHS as a quasi recumbent.

Now all I need to do is source some oxy bottles (sans rental).

Thanks all for the ideas.
