Best uses for old bike parts?

[red_dread]

I don't mean to brag, but I have the coolest keyring in the world. It's a polished up straddle cable and pip from a '93 XT canti brake, joined to the keys by a plate from a chromed Sedis Silver 7-speed chain.

I also use a 1st-gen Rapidfire shifter and an LX hub as desk ornaments, and an XTR cassette as a paperweight.

Worse still, before my girlfriend put a stop to it, I used to have a vase on the bookshelf but instead of flowers it contained an arrangement including a DX rear mech, Saracen seatpost and some Suntour XC Pro brake levers.

Anyone else unable to let go?

Have you used the other straddle for your back door key then...?

I like it, I have an old blue QR as a keyring and drinks coasters made from old sprockets and chain.

@drystonepaul, actually I only ever had one XT canti brake. Back in '93 I had the XT on the front and a Dia-Compe 987 on the back. Yes, that was in the vase...

My back door keyring is a few links of the aforementioned chrome Sedis Silver chain.

God damn, I'm a nerd.
