Bike-chain chandeliers

My bike geek friends were buzzing about this today, so I wanted to share it with my remodeling geek friends. These chandeliers are made of salvaged bike parts. There are more photos and a video here:

    What a wonderful idea and such a sweet young lady. With the industrial designs becoming more popular this may become a high demand item very soon. Keep your bike locked up! lol

    This is amazing, Steve! Really thinking out of the box on your part. You may have started a trend.

    I love the silver one, but the black doesn't look Like you'd get very much light from it....

    Thanks for all the comments. Donna R, just to be clear, I had nothing to do with this brilliant work. I just posted the idea here.

    And Sharron, there is quite a bit of space in a bike chain, so it might be brighter than you think.

    Sorry. Maybe if I would read slower, I just might comprehend what the post is about!

    No worries Donna. I have done the same thing. And I was flattered anyone would think I made these chandeliers.

    this is certainly one for Road and Track Magazine! I wonder now if they'll get ahold of her the same way they did for the infamous Ottomon.
