« Bicycle Tube Patch Repurposed into Shoe Patch | Main | 7 DIY Bike Wheel Truing Stands »
The idea of repurposing bike parts to store bikes is not new to Bike Hacks. We have featured ways to use pedals, bike frames (for walls and as a floor/street mount), and handlebars to store bikes. A variation on a the handlebar theme was recently posted to makezine.com.

Cool idea. The cork bar ends are a nice touch too. I've used corks on my mustache bars.

I did this a few months ago myself, and also left my brake levers, random post, and a mirror (to make sure I'm looking my best) on.

This not only makes a nice way to store a bike but, it could be the basis for a really simple bike maintenance rack. If you flip that quill around and mount the gas pipe fittings at a slight upward angle, you now have a hanging rack with an adjustable angle to allow the front end of the hanging bike to be lower and thus avoid front wheel flop.
