Relocated my bikes to my study today...

[MartyC]

I'd been keeping my bikes in my garage on a display stand but on one of my irregular cleaning sessions I noticed that my Hoffman Flash was starting to suffer a little weathering as was my Robinson RSR.  The wife was never too happy with them on the display stand as every time we opened the garage everyone could see my bikes, so just before Christmas I ordered some bikes stands from Wiggle ($20aud each, posted!) and moved four of my bikes into my study.  I was quite surprised the impact of having them in the garage, at our previous house we had two doors on the garage and the bikes were at the back, this house has only one door and the bikes are at the front so seemed to be more affected, especially the chrome.

I think I'm going to have to do some work on the spokes on the wheels on my Hoffman Flash as they have started to rust a bit  .

Marty.. Where did you get that step stand from? How much are they .. I am in need of a space saver like that myself?

Looks great though bud

Cheers Ant, I got it off a Scottish bloke in a place called Falcon, near Mandurah but can't remember how much it was, maybe $150aud.  We used to have them at Heffs Bike Shop where I worked bitd so it appealed to me but it does take up a lot of space.  Here's something similar...

Nice bikes, they will be nice and cosy in the study. I've  done the same , just  moved two of my Streetbeats into my spare room .

Looking good Marty.  Keeps them safer away from prying eyes . Having the same issue with some spokes as the bikes are in the shed .

Cheers Steve, definitely feeling a little safer now they have been moved and my study feels almost complete now!

Ant if you need one let me know, my friend at the local bike shop has offered to order me them from his suppliers before so could ask if you do.

Nice collection mate! Damp problems and a temptation to thieving bastards aside, I did like that garage stand/display, though they also look good in the warmth and safety of the study!

A study? you got a study??    nice idea to have them indoors tho but if I re-located any bike of mine to the study (indoors  ) the mrs would re-locate me to the Garage!

It's a Hoffman Flash    The Vector is possibly my favourite at the moment, it just oozes sex appeal!
