It is VERY sturdy, and you can swing the bike to the side quite a bit before it becomes unsteady. Always steady if the back wheel is in. I'll post the complete list of parts needed later.

This is a modified version of my first one. I'm using a 4-way junction that has the uprights, and that gives added support with feet so it doesn't sag over time.

HINT: If you are going to paint it (it is painted white), remove all the manufacturers writing, as it bleeds through the paint (or prime it). I used enamel reducer and got all the writing off. Also, don't be too sloppy with the purple pipe prep stuff, it shows through also.
