    Sure. $200 plus whatever it does to my insurance premium.

    I could possibly justify the $200 for the sheer insanity of a bespoke slingshot. My guess is the insurance premium would put the project out of reach.

    If you sell it unassembled it could be a "decorative pry-bar and rubber band combo" - or put the word "festive" or "holiday" in there. What the customer does with it is their problem.

    Nice one, Eric.

    Just call it "Bike frame wall art with rubber hanging mechanism". You could probably charge $500 for it.

    A friend suggests that you paint it red and sell it in a fancy box. Could probably get $800 for it.

    Have that assembled into the frame with miniature S&S couplers. Another feature for the all-rounder post-zombie-apocalypse niche.

    Alas, it's a no go on my insurance. I guess I'll have to keep doing hobby projects as hobbies!

    Up in your neck of the woods in Happy Valley, that's called an SCSS...State College Squirrel Slayer. Use a lugged fork crown on the next model and call it a fabrication sample and it needs to be blue and white.
