This guy made his girlfriend Leonie a bike, using spare parts and by having the frame professionally sprayed (in pistachio! - the perfect bike colour.) She is one lucky lady, don't you agree?
Also, I'm taking part in the second installment of Layers of Meaning's Through Her Eyes series today - head over there if you would like to read a story from my childhood - and see my cute child photo.
My dad built me a bike out of many spare parts for Xmas one year. It was the best bike I have EVER owned. How can you beat a bike that's been made with love.
Oh so pretty! My bike isn't made from spare parts but it was hauled up and down hills to my house in bits and pieces and reconstructed , so I (who was working in the middle of town) wouldn't see it.
