Title: What to do while waiting for glue to dry.... (more pics added 8th)
Post by: oldschoolace on December 07, 2013, 04:13 PM
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  :LolLolLolLol:

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  :daumenhoch: Looks great  :4_17_5:

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

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  :daumenhoch:

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  :daumenhoch:

Very clever indeed.

Fantastic Clint

If I wasn't renting I'd love one

and there is the slight issue of having a floval top tube!

would be fantastic for hoarders sorry collectors of handlbars (or bike shops) - you could have a column of them all on display
