Being a huge of fixed-gear bicycles and their sub-culture I was inspired by the "forever bicycles" installation by Wei Wei. Comprising of thousands of welded together bicycles it is a metaphorical commentary on the rapid and vast expansion of the chinese population. It is inspiring to know that even after being imprisoned by his own government Wei Wei has emerged with yet a new piece of social critiscism.




After looking at Wei Wei's deconstruction, modification, and reformation of the bikes,

(The bicycles have all been simplified by having their chains, cranks, handlebars removed and no individual/unique parts, they all seem to be stock material...)

I have decided that I am going to reconstruct one of my old bike frames by breaking it down and reforming it. The frame of choice was a non-functioning single-speed mongoose racer frame (bottom bracket was no longer functioning and the forks have been bent due to an unfortunate yet hillarious accident involving a foot and some broken spokes)

Here is the photo of the bike in its former glory.
