awesome, but I'd be too afraid to get bike grease stains on my pants to sit on those things!

Wow. Wow. I can't think of a time when I've been more motivated to buy furniture. or scrap some of my old bikes and turn them into chairs.

Mmm, I like this ottoman. Funnily enough I was going to do a post about art from recycled parts after watching a BBC programme last night (Pay off your mortgage in two years) in which a couple are given financial advice to hugely increase their income in order to be mortgage free. The husband of the couple, Dan Harding, creates the most wonderful "HotPod" multifuel stoves from recycled gas cylinders and other engine parts, particularly from old VW beetles. If I had any spare cash I'd be off to Cornwall to snap one up in a heartbeat.

They totally need an endorsement from Lance "Armchair" Armstrong.

More accessories. You'll be needing a bottle opener.

Does it feature authentic inner tube smell? Ew.

Now that's awesome! And I like the punning title too! (Oh, and innertube smell. I kinda like innertube smell.)

I'm in love with the backless barstools, and I'm desiring to go to some hypothetical bar that uses them.

Cool link. Are the seat cushions clinchers or sew-ups?

Mr. Gregg has quite a talent. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable (we have two at the bike shop I used to work at, and YoJimbo's has one). Additionally, the Handlebar has been using bar stools made by Andy for about 3 years now, and they are solid.

I was sure that bike furniture isn't a pipe bomb?

I've actually seen these upclose and they are actually very comfortable, as wel as cool. If I wasn't moving overseas, I would have been tempted to make a purchase.

Also see belt and wallet (retail links). Very helpful in avoiding leather.

I've seen his stuff before, and have been wanted to get some for myself. He usually has his stuff on display @ the Ore2Shore MTB race in Marquette.

Couldn't you just open the bottle on your bike?

Or twist the cap?

By: fixedgear

I try to avoid beer with twist-off caps, but someday I'll have a bike with a built-in opener.

Make a bottle opener. *gasp* Well, I know what I'm doing this weekend in my dad's shop. Anyone who wants one, let me know. I'll have five or six.
