As a bike fanatic, I’ve always wanted to make a custom TP holder for one of my bathrooms. I’ve seen similar set-ups at a couple of my local bike shops’ bathrooms and I’ve always wanted to copy it. With old parts laying around I decided to make one.
The main part for my bike art is a 2001 Marzocchi Z1 MCR topped with an Easton carbon Monkeylite handlebar. The bar ends were pretty chewed up where I wouldn’t be able to use them again. These two were held together by an old 25.4 stem. What kept the unit upright was an old Yakima fork-mount holder. I had this secured to a ¼ “ piece of plywood.
Finally, I needed stops so the toilet paper won’t slide down to the middle of the bar. I used two old ODI lock-on clamps and glued cogs onto them. Evenly placed, I secured the ODI clamps and left the ends open to replace with new TP as needed. Pretty cool for making use of old parts.

Very cool. Wait…is that a…Glamour magazine beneath all the bike porn? Glamour? I kid…
I like the setup, though. It would definitely make the morning constitutionals just that much more exciting. 🙂
i like the addition of the cycle computer. nice touch!
Glamour magazine is for the guests.
The computer is for timing yourself Lol 🙂
Whoa that is cool! I do have an extra rigid fork, stem and handlebars (flatbar even!) lying around!
