Cruzbike (and other bikes) storage solution

[Doug Burton]

Picked up one of these from Harbor Freight:

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=2628

With the killer 20% discount coupon, cost a shade over $30.

Holds 4 Cruzbikes very nicely, and you can move it around to get to things in the shop. I will probably buy another one, I can store 8 bikes where I currently have 5, and sill get to the pegboard wall behind to hang parts.

Hi Doug
would you believe I don't have room in my shop for this rig. My Garage was born without a door so I cant put it there either. Man I hate that. Great deal!!!

Did you know that Harbor Freight has a bike repair jig or repair stand too. I scan their catalog pretty well and this is the first time I've seen a bike repair stand. Let me know your opinion, please. Its only $30. Is that too good to be true?

Hi Bob,

This is a very interesting workstand. It looks like it's dependent on having a bottom bracket to cradle at the top (which would work fine for your Avalon and the Sofrider/Freerider). The downtube angle appears to be adjustable.

I hope the leg length is adjustable, otherwise the bike will sit very high - good for gearing work (until you have to shift it). But it aldo looks like a few minutes with a drill would make it very height-adjustable.

So looks like a good tool for the price.

Best,

Doug

Hi Gromit;

..........does now though, go figure. Hope all is well.
