I have this handmade *bikefish* for sale. It can be painted to your choice of color.
thanks for looking
This thing has actually been on here for years, and it's clear why. As a cyclist (or as a fish enthusiast), at what point do you decide to spend $150 on something like this rather than on something for your bicycle (or your aquarium)? I mean, $150 will buy you a rideable frame (or three Black Cap Basslets)! This is the kind of thing a non-cycling friend or relative gives you and you accept really awkwardly, or that you'd find in the home of someone who wears sandals with heavy wool socks in the winter, or that you'd actually go see in order to beat the artist with it so that he never posts it again.
This thing puts the "ick" back in "ichthyology." Then again, that's one honey of a track end on there. This baby's ripe for a conversion. Just weld a few more tubes on that sucker and you've got yourself a Darwin fish. Ugh.

...artist has no integrity or belief in himself as artist..."will paint it in any color !?!?!:"
...commissioned art, yes, artist, uses input from client, ie; talia's beautiful works & renderings...
...straight up expressionist artwork, you just put it out on the market the way ya created it, if ya believe its any good...
...if it is a jp yeti, somewhere in this big world, frank the welder will be shedding a tear...
...& nybs will have one less victim ,ah, fix creator to set straight...
I'm nearly destitute because the only thing my cat will eat are black cap basslets.
...quaffimodo...try live piranha... whoever's left gets to try again tomorrow.
...if yer not sentimental, it'll be exiting.
I don't care much for Picasso's black velvet paintings but his saddle with handlebar = toro, borders upon the sublime.
...snobasaurous, old chap... latest fgg / art series + ... just the nicest little bicycle sculpture made outa spokes...
just knew you'd think it's art, @ it's finest, eh what??
bikesnob - If you could choose any one bike to ride for the next year what would it be?
(I'm guessing lugged steel, sidepulls, 'stache bar, laquered bits, and a croched tt pad for brifter protection)
Flandis,
You should know by now that I eschew that kind of gimmickry. I fancy myself astride something like this:
