Harbor Freight Bike Tree
Anyone have it? HF stuff is hit or miss (quality) and I know from experience.

I have one and am quite pleased with it.
Like most HF stuff, it's not the highest quality item but the one I have works great. It will hold 6 full-sized heavy bikes no problem.
Don't pay full price for it. HF puts them on sale from time to time and they always have 20% off coupons available. Also, it's better to pick one up at the store instead of having it shipped. The boxes are usually beat up and you can pick the best one.
Mine is set on the tallest setting and the huge DL-1 on the end just fits with about 1/2" clearance between the floor and the rear reflector.

Also have one,have used it for a good five years or so. They're great for storage,but not so good if you're going to be pulling bikes off the inside regularly. Pro tips: removing pedals let's you get the bikes in closer,and sometimes with wide bars you'll need to loosen the stem bolts and turn them sideways to get the bike to fit.

I think they're listed on the website at $45.99. Our store usually has their flyers with the 20% coupons laying around inside the door. For about $37.00 they are a great buy.
