Alternative uses for an aluminum MTB frame Any alternative use for old mountain bike tyres and inner tube?


So my frame has a large crack near the headtube and I am replacing it. Could I use the frame in any other way? E.g.


give it away for recycling, get a few beers with the money
make vases from the tubes
make shot glasses from the tubes (e.g. with wooden bottoms)
beat people with it (!?!? one friend proposed this)


Anything more sensible? Maybe I could make some tool or stand out of the material?
Use as a dedicated truing stand.  While not adjustable, the fork could be used for front wheels, back for rear wheels.
