I've always liked that one. Would look good with the Picasso "cow skull" made with a bike seat and handlebars.
I've heard that it's hard to make a good rip-off of the Duchamp, since it should spin and turn almost indefinitely. Anyone tried? The 'Picasso' just takes a minute with 3 zip ties I found out.
As far as bike parts go the 1/02 Cycling Plus mentions the £100,000 paid recently for a bike with super-rare 1892 Persil Spring wheels...I think that's the craziest money yet paid for cycling hardware.
