A dismantled chain

Did you identify the weakest link?

Goodbye 👋

Not sure if the OP is serious.
But being boringly practical for a while, can anyone think of any uses for old chains, however much disassembled?
(a fair few uses for tubes of course)

My daughter bought me key ring made from a Campag chain attached to thirteen tooth sprocket.

My local bikeshop has a couple of desktop sculptures on sale made mostly from bike chains.

I believe the sculptor lives locally.

The shop routinely puts old chains into the scrap bin.

The owner weighs them in for a few quid when he's collected enough to make the trip to the scrapyard worthwhile.

I'm confused, does he make sculptures or bin the chains? hard to do both, unless e makes a sculpture and then sells it a scrap?

It took me a while but with a lot of patience I managed to disassemble my old 10-speed chain.

Seems like Covid lockdown has been particularly painful for you if you had to resort to this.

Curious as to which chain splitter you used. It must be a good one. I've had many in the past, where the pin drops out or becomes a bit useless.

Would be a good advert for whichever one you used. Must be some revenue there if you contact the supplier.

Do you work for James May and is the next episode of The Reassembler obvious to us now?

Thanks. Interesting. Would think it would wear your pockets though?
Edit, i see darius fears the same.
