Finished!

The new bike racks are finished! Here is one of them, all powder-coated red and installed at the Uptown Askews. The "revival racks" took six months from beginning to end, the most time spent dismantling old bikes.

Up-cycling at its best...

Just testing the spacing and mounting with the half-finished frames on site.

One of the finished frames before powder coating.

All winter I've been pillaging bike parts from various sources to create two bike racks for the new Askew's grocery store. Old steel frames are best, brake rotors, handle bars, sprockets and chain rings are also good to use. A few kickstands and fenders have made their way in. Once complete, all will be powder coated, then installed in groups of four at either end of the Askew's entrance. Should be finished by beginning of April. The question is... who will be the first cyclist to use it?
