Had an hour spare today while glue went off and with the recent thread about hanging bikes on the wall i decided to have a little play around with some offcuts

Not finished yet but you get the idea

I did the bar hole at 30mm so it will cater for most top tubes.

Cheers fella's, quite pleased with it for an hours mucking about.

Drilling the angled hole in the race plate was probably the only fiddly bit. I drilled a hole rather than cut the shaft at an angle so the stem can be mounted on a top tube then just slotted in the hole.

Nice work dude

Looks great

How is the shaft joined to the base of the clamp and what do the clamp bolts screw in to?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2013, 08:27 PM »

The shaft is glued in a hole bored through 3/4 of the stem base. The bolts just thread into the wood. Its oak and if tapped properly will take bolts really well

oldschoolace · « **Reply #16 on:** December 08, 2013, 09:52 PM »

Couldn't resist having a play with it today, threw my Kool clamp on to see what it looked like against chrome

oldtired · « **Reply #17 on:** December 08, 2013, 10:03 PM »

brilliant top bit o fiddling

oldschoolace · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2013, 10:23 PM »

Forgot to say, the clamp nips up really well with no sign of the frame slipping against the oak. Could probably lye the frame parallel to the floor

That is just such an outstanding idea for a wall stand.
Very clever indeed.
