This recycled Dura Ace bike wheel clock is the ultimate gift for cyclists both young and old. Looking to add some cool to your home office, then this bicycle industrial decor will do the trick. Any triathlete will love to receive this as an award and any BMX rider would love to receive this cycling gift.
* This bike wheel clock is approximately 25" in diameter and made from a recycled Dura Ace bicycle wheel, gears, and chain I gathered from local bike shop recycling bins.
* Look closely, can you spot the clock mechanism on this bike wheel clock? You cannot! Not from the front or from the sides. Thats because I wrap bicycle chain around it so all you see are bicycle chain and gears. This is my original design and its one I'm really proud of - and one my customers absolutely love! Dream Great Dreams is the only place in the world you can find a clock designed and made like this.
* I use high end, American made, high torque clock mechanisms, and this is important because the clock mechanism is the heart and soul of your clock. To support the weight of extra long clock hands, a high torque clock mechanism is essential. If a regular or lesser quality clock mechanism is used, your clock won't be accurate or will simply stop working. Do they cost more? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. If you've seen a less expensive bicycle wheel clock, chances are they've skimped on the components. I take a lot of pride in what I create and my work has a reputation for quality. I’ve worked very hard for my 5-star review rating and I’m proud of it.
* Hanging your new Bike Wheel Clock is super easy and everything you need is included with your order. If you are in a temporary space or not sure where you'll want to hang it long term, you can hang it from a nail or screw in between the bicycle spokes or from the rim, it’s as easy as hanging a picture. But if you want it to look like it is “floating” on your wall, a very cool and modern look, I include all of the hardware and detailed step by step instructions (including pictures documenting every step). Its super easy and you only need a 3/4” drill bit.
* All of the parts I use are rescued from bike shop recycling bins and cleaned using only biodegradable cleaners. I do my best to clean and polish everything but signs of wear and use should be expected! Some wheels ship with the stickers left on, and some will ship with the stickers removed, it depends on the wheel and the condition of the stickers. If you have a preference please just let me know.
* Hello to my wonderful amazing international customers! Please remember you are responsible for any tax, duty, VAT, GST/PST, inbound customs fees or Royal Mail charges assessed by your country upon delivery, and this is not included in the amount you pay when you complete your purchase through Etsy or PayPal.
* I opened my Etsy shop in 2013 so I could make and sell my creations and contribute to my grandson’s medical expenses fund. He is a very special little guy and you can read about his journey in my ‘about’ section.
* To all of my customers THANK YOU, I wouldn’t be here without you, I hope we all can Dream Great Dreams & Make Them Come True!
