Just finished these last night and put on my FB page, but have not made it to my ETSY page where I sell things.  I think it was a BT person that may want the 6.5" front sprocket clock, so I am holding off on putting it on ETSY to save him some money.

 

bicycle art clocks

 

The wheel is a 16" wheel that is powder coated black.  The front sprocket clock is 6.5" and also powder coated.

Is that a Spacely Sprocket or a Cogswell Cog?

I do not think anything was made during the production of the Jetson cartoon, but I could be mistaken.

Mentioned it on FB, but it also deserves a comment here. I really like the little one. I think that's quite fitting.

My question, besides propping it up on a bookshelf, is there a way to hang it at all?

I will take a picture of the back side and send to you if you are interested in seeing that.  If you look through the hole just above the center of the sprocket where the clock mounts, there is the actual clockworks behind the sprocket and it hands off of that.  Either a nail or a screw will work for the one with the sprocket.

On the wheel, I have done two different things for other people.  One I drilled a 3/16" hole in the sidewall of the rim at what would then be 12 o'clock and they mounted it with a nail.  The other mounting option is using the large hole where the shrader valve part of the tube comes out and use a hook.

Sorry about that.  I make them, so it is obvious to me where it mounts. 

 

I got my a$$ chewed by my wife a few weekends ago, because of something I said about a thing I was doing for work.  She said that things that may be clearly obvious to you, are not even seen by others.  You need to step back and look at it from others perspectives.  Again, I thought it was very obvious in the upper picture, because I knew it was there and saw the metal that would support it.  I looked at the picture after you asked the question, and noticed I was doing the same thing again.

I have heard that from a couple of people that own one of the pendants.  Thank you very much.
