Hand-Made Bicycle (Not for Riding)

I happened upon this while I was walking down the street in the French Concession this sun-soaked afternoon. Propped on gate ledge, there was one, rather unassuming, man making bicycle after bicycle from small, malleable pieces of wire.







The detail is seriously impressive. The gearing system "works" as does the steering. It even has a mini kickstand.
