    Hi,

    I just finished taking the parts bike apart and now i have a bare useless frame. Can anybody think of a good use for it if any? Otherwise it will go to the dump.

    Does it have a valid TITLE to go with it?

    Take it in for scrap. In some states you need the title to scrap a bike frame. If you do in yours, just cut it up. Get some lunch money.

    1) Wall art.

    2) Cut it in half lengthwise and use it as the sides of a custom, steel-framed, bookshelf.

    3) String it with Christmas lights for the best lawn ornament in town.

    4) Cut it up and use the tubes to make a trailer for your motorcycle.

    5) Have a motorcycle-frame throwing contest at your next family gathering.

    6) Hang it from a tree, because 8O

    7) Set it in the yard and plant a tree between the framerails, because in 30 years 8O

    8) Turn it into the coolest office chair ever.

    I give 'em to the scrap metal guy......he just cuts them up a bit into short steel and gets a few more punds for his haul-to-the-recycler load. He's a friend of mine, so I just give 'em to him. I wouldn't get much for a bare frame anyway, but it adds up for him.

    Cut it up so it's not recognizable as a bike frame, and grind off then dispose of the piece with the VIN separately.
