Topic: Built a bike rack, What do you think?

[alwhite00]

 I needed a bike rack to hold 4 bikes and the tonneau racks are super expensive, I came up with this. I had a buddy bend me up the channel, I had the square tube and the "C" pieces are from a bigger hunk of tube I had, I have about $5.00 into it so far, Still need to paint it. Solid as a rock and works great, Went for a shakedown run tonight and no problems, What do you think?

Very impressive.  Gotta love it when fabricating stuff to suit your needs.  Well done!

Good eye.   The green bike is a 68 Schwinn Stingray Deluxe witha 2 speed kickback hub. (my rider) The blue one is a 70 or so All-Pro (wifes) the red one is a early 80's Schwinn Pixie (daughter) and the black one is a 07 Re-pop Schwinn Stingray that I am in the process of converting to a 3 speed stick. (sons)
  We are going to Mackinac Island and taking the bikes so it should ge a sight.

My brother had the green one without the handbrake and the hub when we were kids. That was a long time ago. Come to think of it, it was around the early 70's when we got our first Schwinns.

Niiice,

My first Schwinn was a Yellow Stingray with a 5 speed stick shift.

I could ride wheelies all day.

( I like to keep this saying for the ladies but it will work in this context as well )

NICE RACK.

I keep coming back to view these pictures as we too have bikes but i am one lazy son of a gun.  I wont ride or walk to the corner.  Yet,i like the looks and dont mind having a setup like this.   Is this a permanent mount?  Easy to remove and install?
