Mexico's Armando RamÃrez transforms an impressive assortment of discarded metal pieces and auto parts into a dazzling motorbike. The artist's eye for detail is admirable as he transforms completely unrelated items into specific bike parts, such as bearings becoming tires. The bike's engine includes bolts, clog, and brush holders usually found in a car's ignition and electrical system. The seat was formerly a clutch pedal and the bike's gas tank once formed part of a car's motor. RamÃrez completes this sculpture with thick wires, supports, metal sheets and pieces left over from a die machine.
