Sealed bearings? Pass.

That is pretty cool, but it clashes with all the carbon fiber in my bathroom :)

[Avincent52]

That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I thought about buying it, but apparently it is designed for "under the roll" instead of my preferred "over the roll" toilet paper mounting.

Cool web store.

That is so incredibly awesome. I wonder how smooth the hubs/bearings are. My dog prefers a smooth spin when he's unraveling a roll before eating it.

I'd love something like this. My significant other... not so much.

I was going to make a similar comment WRT to ceramic bearings! One pull and the whole roll will unravel! :beer:

Very cool, I need to take a metal fab class. I got a busted Columbus Benotto frame that has this for a future written all over it!

Or just send it to Dave Kirk.

This could be a whole new direction in life for Dave. Other builders do fancy racks or custom pumps, or integrated lighting systems. Dave can take your cycling experience into the bathroom. Curved seat stays a must, of course.

I'm not sure why bikes + toilets are such a popular combo, but they're out there:

Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'quick release'.

Brazing isn't so nice. Is it really a Merckx?

Or just send it to Dave Kirk.

Yeah, but then I'd have to wait for the JB paint job
and I gotta go NOW!

Caution! Caution! Risk of crooked TP tear! That TP roll appears to be out of alignment in the dropouts. Please note that the dropout adjustment screws are not in sinc, the right screw exhibits 2-3mm more protrusion then the left screw. Make sure your TP is correctly aligned before usage.

Or just send it to Dave Kirk.

I have been fixin' to attain some basic metal fabrication skillz for some time now. Just so many times I am working on something or have an idea which I cant bring to fruition due to lack of knowledge/skillz. Never stop learning.

To judge from the t.p. embossing, this may be from the FdJ team bus.
Probably a Lapierre.
