I bought this to add to our living room refresh as shelf decor. I think it works nicely.  It would be better if it was black and made of iron but it’s ok the way it is as well.  It’s semi heavy but not enough to be a bookend.  It takes up quite a large amount of space but it’s a nice, modern way to incorporate cycling interest into decor without using a cliche vintage Tour de France poster.  My boyfriend, who is a cyclist, likes it!
