NBD! I spent an entire day researching and constructing this idea. The rabbit hole of wind chime making took me on a deep dive into music theory and structure resonance – there's nerds like us in every hobby!
This was originally tuned to Dm7b5b9 because I love that chord but, if you saw my last 'post' (🤓), you'll realize why my intended Eb note had to be replaced with a high F. Still complements it well, I think. I'll post a video below so you can see this baby on its shakedown ride!

Awesome.
Love it!
So rad!
Wish I kept that Ultra with a stuck seatpost so I could’ve carved it up for this project.
The most extreme !
Looks great! But as a neighbor of someone who has a wind chime on their porch and it’s directly outside our bedroom window I ask you to consider the noise impacts on your neighbors. I hate wind chimes.
That’s about as rideable as some decked out builds.
super sick wow

Used to be!
It’s cool and all, but seems like it would get in the way while riding. I understand the need for a bell, but seems like a little bit much. 😂
Not xbiking, but a great use of up-cycling.

100% Sounds great! better than I would have imagined it would.
So cool. I’d buy one of these.

10 outta 10!
You should make an Etsy shop
No, but every neighbour you have will hate the racket. Is that your goal?
I believe taking an old bike and making it functional again qualifies! Nice work!
As a fellow wind chime nerd I can appreciate the research you did for this. I think the use of Dm can give it an emotional feel, melancholy and yet winsome.
I believe this is ex biking
That specialized color way was x biking even when it was brand new and the bike was unmodded.
