a few guys know that i have moved house . to say its small is a understament "the house" . the old house was massive old terraced thing . to give you some idea from the front door to the back window in the play room it was 48ft , so i had loads of big room to store my stuff and bikes , but we have moved to a new build "town house" with fooking tiny rooms so it has gave me the chance to get a bike up on the wall of which i have been dying to do
my vector shrine :LolLolLolLol:

dude - thats a biiiiiig duck!
I'd be painting the hanging bracket to match the wall if it was me :daumenhoch:
might have to hang mine on the fireplace - if I start another build it will be me hanging :buck2:

Nice, but dont complain... you dont know how lucky you are being allowed a bike indoors, mine have to live in the outhouse. Ive created a similar shrine to my Rebel with a matching Skyway 'shrine' above it. I worship at more than one church...

gonna go get me one today.

I've got them gravey Dave, you can chop them a few inches and still have your bars normal. It's worth rotating them too when you re-drill so you bike sits in a normal position. They way they way they come, the front wheel dips down loads. Depending on the angle of your top tube it can look quite extreme. JMC's look cack for instance without the tweak.

i used the halfords style ones but they did stick out from the wall more than i wanted so i used small bungie cords and used em to pull the bottom of the bikes in so they didnt look like they were just 'hangin' there, plus they take up loads less room space as the wheels are closer to the wall and all the bulk is above head height. you cant see all the cords on these pics but and the revcore next to the white ghp hasnt got one
