Show us your rack

[PinkBike]

you all totally inspired me. i made this rack yesterday, and my garage looks so much cleaner!!

i added two other pictures from my garage just to make the bianchistas and trekkees jealous (DH finds me the coolest birthday gifts!)

Pink- Please share how you made your rack system. That is exactly what I have in mind for the expanding fleet of bikes in our stable.

Cool gifts by the way, I want a Cannondale sign.

My attempt to make a PVC pipe bike rack was not successful. Even with securing the joints with PVC adhesive, the bike was just too heavy and it would tip over. And then it broke apart while being moved. Note: i used a different design than flybye's. specifically, i used:

.. it may have only been unsuccessful because my measurements were off (long story) and the legs weren't as long as they were meant to be..

Wipes brow, you scared me for a second

Didn't want to be at the center of a project gone wrong...

I am sorry for your lack of success... was it meant for smaller bikes, like kiddo bikes??

Pink - How'dya make that one? Spill the beans!!!

Wow, Pink! That looks great. Did you paint the graphic on the wall?

[PinkBike]

yeh, i painted it. thank you.

i built the garage too.

for the bike rack i didnt do any measurements or anything, just started with old sprinkler parts and started piecing it together, holding the bike against the wall and figuring out rough dimensions. then i dry-fit it together, did some more cutting or replacing pieces that were cut down too much, then when i was happy i glued it all together. i used 3/4" PVC, 90-degree elbows and masonry screws (blue tapcons). oh and old pegboard hangers for the helmets.

PinkBike, you built the garage, too??! I wanna be you when I grow up.

That's so cool. You're amazingly talented and handy to boot.

Now, could you come over and build me a closet? How about a house around it while you're at it.


Edited to add: What kind of helmet do you have? I like it a lot, but I can't quite make out the brand. Did it come with the reflective strips or did you add that?
