Trials mama Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 if your not looking for something to complicated go for a crank arm ( that is if you stil want to use the bike idea) eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Bike stands are allways good projects, as long as you keep it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Has a tool tray, 3 detachable legs, decent clamp, £25 worth of paint :S The feet for it were bits of old tyre cut up and glued on and the grip on the clamp was an innertube :rolleyes: Only bit of welding was on the legs, the top it all cleverly bolted :P Oh yeah the clamp can also spin 360deg all the way round so you can grab the top or seat tube.
