Fill the seat tube with water and leave it out overnight, so that the water freezes and spilts the seat tube outwards at several points. Allow to thaw and drain. Add postit note saying "Note to self: do not cycle home after curry again" and display in living room

Cut out the BB then use the tubing to practice welding or brazing, make a smaller frame out of whatever you've got left...

might have to do something similar with the dead front end of my Galaxy (cracked headtube and dented top tube) once its been rebuilt!

Done! Got to keep the Bb though there ie actually a crack right around the top of it, so its only physically attached to the chain stays.
With an old Reynolds seat post its actually pretty usable for using at the work stand or just for decorationTo morrow I have another frame to chop, its a fancy carbon road frame, which means I'll have two front ends allowing me to make a neat bike hanging rack.

Clothing racks.
In the morning I have a Surly LHT that I'm taking a hacksaw to (BB shell already cracked through the down tube & seat tube from fatigue).
So its just a rigid steel frame, for warranty I have to chop the BB out of it and take a picture of it obviously removed = gates open for new frame. But I fancied taking the front half of it (headtube/toptube/downtube) and securing it to a wall in some way, make a towel rack or something daft out of it. Back half would make the obvious 'bike stool' but without the BB it'll be a bit shit.
Anyone seen or heard of any better ideas than a Surly towel rack?
