    Well, from a bit of wire really.

    Haha ace. Is that all one continuous piece?

    All one piece. Started mucking around with a piece and it just evolved into the above. Took about 30mins to make.

    The GF has snaffled it and has it on her desktop in the office.

    I’ll have to make another.

    I rather like that, if you think of it in motion there’s something very Rhubarb and Custard about it. 🙂

    Would love to see a DH bike imagined in a similar way.

    Ace! The BMX is my favorite.

    I reckon you could make good money selling those. Do you have any poncey homewear/art shops near you?

    @PeaslakeDave

    How do you do that ?

    @tthew

    I’m sure I can found an outlet that may be interested. Still need to refine the technique a bit.

    redthunder – I put my camera on a long exposure (30 or 60 secs) and put it down in dark room. then with my head torch I drew it in the air with the light. It’s actually surprisingly easy to draw things and there is no need to edit the picture afterwards.

    This is a Zambian bike I got as a present when I was a kid.

    Thanks I’ll try that.

    I like the last bikes ^^^

    Mine are a bit freestyle and one piece of wire and no pliers.

    As somebody said above “Rhubarb & Custard” 🙂
