When my Stanton arrives I am going to break up my Cotic Soul, but keep the frame. @p20 gave it to me during our wedding speeches, and the emotional value is much greater than the monetary. I want to hang it on the wall of my home office (I spend a lot of time in it at the moment!). Any suggestions for fittings to do this that don't look awful?
2 simple black hooks?
Or use a nice wooden guitar hanger?
Mount through the bb shell?
Sort of a pole with an extending wedge like an old quill stem so you don't need a 2nd mount to stop it rotating?
Something along the lines of this?
Otherwise, a nice piece of aluminium with a U-bend in it and a hole in it, so that you can screw half of a bottom bracket shell through the aluminium plate from behind and into the bike to hold it, screw plate to the wall.
Ooh I am liking the idea of nice guitar hanger and something through the BB. Good creative thinking.
Loads of good looking stuff here - https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=bike%20shelf
I'm thinking I should be able to make some of those ideas myself! Maybe something for lockdown 2.0
 Nice machined clampy-thing through the BB and something to stop it rotating.
A mate did something fancy to hang a road bike by ....oh I can't describe it very well
Starting at the wall, a nice piece of wood. A rear cassette mounted to that. A (cut down?) stem coming out the centre of the cassette, holding a set of upturned roadie bars that hold the bike by the top tube.
It looks much better than it sounds, used up some parts, and fits with the theme of his bike.
Old (non-sealed) bottom bracket, three washers and a long bolt into a wall fixing with a spacer tube would do it for me. Wall/washer/spacer/washer/BB cup/ BB cup/washer. With a bolt through into the wall.
