It came out better than I expected. BTW, I guess you haven't received them yet..:( I sent you two pairs just so you know.:thumb: Let me know when you get them. I wished I had went to the Cirque but things came up as usual.

HAHAH. Me too. The ones with the tubing are: From nearest to far:
Gazelle Champion Mondial, Colnago Super, Godefroot Track bike. I don't see myself riding them much for now, hence the tubing.

That's the problem; I don't have anywhere to spread them. Hell, with this rack and the one in the back shed, I still need to figure out where to put the other 13. Looks like I will be making some hard decisions soon.:cry:

Another shed.

That was the initial thought, but given that we are in Gov't housing, it's highly doubtful that we'll get the ok for me to build it.

Gilberto,

I'm a lot closer than Kurt - plus unlike Kurt, your bikes are too large for me - they'll get ridden a lot less. :D

Wow, thats a really nice rack design. I can't tell is there a block of wood at the bottom where the front wheel touches?

I love this thread...wish I didn't have to keep bikes in 4 different spaces, but the pics have given me some grist for the brain-mill.

I wanted to ask about this type of setup, is there any problems that can arise from hanging like this? Or is the wheel strong enough to hang (with the support of a wall)

LOL! Kurt...If you were closer maybe......
John....I might take you on the offer if I can't figure something out soon.;)

There is no other piece of wood other than the one the hooks are attached too. The bottom tires rest against the wall. I place cardboard between the wall and the tires as not to dirty the wall, per the wife.

That set up is great. It's just the same as hanging them from racks like mine as long as the bottom tire makes contact with the wall.

Wouldn't you like to be re-stationed to sunny Florida?

That is a steal! I'm looking for one to put in the front of our house. Here is the Rack stuffed to capacity with Bikes and Wheels. I still have 7 boxes to unpack with bikes.:o I need to clean up the garage to see how much space I will be able to use. My wife's van must fit inside when all is done.
