Bike Themed Decorating

[DebW]

Maybe he's just aging his tubulars like Lance. (I saw a documentary on Lance and Team Postal, and the guy stored all the tires in a wine cellar to age them.)

I've got 3 or 4 old tubular rims that do their duty stretching tires every once in awhile. If I'm lucky, my spare tires get to age a year or two before I need to use them.

Thanks everyone! It is such a shame DH got motivated to throw out some junk when we moved. He had some old semi-damaged Mountain Bike Rims I had been bugging him to throw away, he finally did and now I see the magazine rack!! Those rims would have been salvagable for this purpose. I am considering perusing goodwill to make that for the bath room or guest room.

Try a bike shop. They probably throw away damaged rims all the time. But if it's too bent, it won't lay flat against the wall. Look for rims with only flat spots and no side-to-side bends.

Pssst... If you can't find one, I could make you a good deal. You can pick a rim with old Clement cement (reddish brown) or Tubasi (whitish) or Continental (yellowish). I assume the cement color must match your room decor.
