There was a thread a couple months ago when someone suggested a bike storage setup similar to what I've done below in my new house. Can't remember who it was but wanted to say cheers! Some cracking ideas kicking around this here forum 🙂

Very elegant storage. What did you use for the rail for the wheels?
Thanks - it's an old Halfords roof mounted rack my dad found when clearing out his garage. Surprisingly solid piece of ally
Similarly inspired I've got as far as the shelf bit but am undecided on the bit to hold the frame, what are using there Nick?
Its an old hook thing I had in my toolbox for years wrapped in duct tape for protecting the frame, some chain and an M6x55mm expanding wall anchor. I keep thinking its gonna come out the wall but there's actually not too much force on it... *touch wood*

Looks neat. Might have to knock something up for the garage.
OT I'd have routed the front brake hose on the inside of the fork leg.
Nice work..
Thanks for the extra pic 🙂
Cheers. Yeah the brake hoses have been too long/incorrectly routed from day 1! Needs sorting before France.
Nice.
That planter looks good is it just glued together?
Why is your bird box so low?
Thinking about that bike mount, though, surely it would be worth loosening the stem and turning the bars prior to popping it up there - it would be much neater tighter against the wall?
