Been Around the Block
So I'm a 24 year old guy who shares a garage with my 41 year old brother at our moms.. It's "his garage" so I have to make the most out of it to build my bike. I can work on it and roll it back where it was when it's done.
Thing is that I want to take of the wheels to get new tires, tubes, bearings, powdercoat and so forth. Also, forks and all that stuff getting rebuilt, coated and such.
Also, I want to be able to keep it up for a little bit while I work on it and not have to move shit to get it back where it was or worry about stuff moving around as I move the bike around.
So here's the plan... Build a rack to put it on.
Anyone else build one?
This is what I am thinking....
Build something like this in wood, but use metal pipes welded together to hold up the frame while wheels and stuff are off. Make it clamp able, so I can make sure it doesn't shift.
Someone built one, with two levels, which I think would be convenient because I could store parts under it and still take up the same amount of space...
or this..
Anyone have any input? Show me what you've built!!
