Resource Revival, an Oregon-based company, collects bicycle chains and wheels and recycles them to create their own unique products. One of their newest creations is a wall clock with numbers made from a bicycle chainring and a paper face. The Sprocket Wall Clock ($29.95) is 6 inches in diameter and comes with an AA battery. The company offers other cool clocks, such as the Hybrid Wall Clock ($29.95), made out of a chainring and--get this--a computer hard drive! It measures 7" by 7". Make sure you also check out the CD Rack ($88) made from bicycle rims, cogs and chainrings, and the Business Card Holder ($19.95) made from a bicycle wheel rim and folded bicycle chain ends. I would like to see Resource Revival dream up some more products. They should collect old cell phones, keyboards, and floppy disks (as I'm sure everyone has them laying around) and make something really eye-popping. Or maybe even throw in some recycled pulp-novel hardcovers and create some really fun items. [Found via FosForGadgets]

I like those. I'd also like to see some more similar designs/models. Chris http://amateureconblog.blogspot.com/
