anyone hang there bikes up for display?
i'm wanna hang a f&f up on my wall and was wondering what the best way would be
-
TGI Friday style, drill holes in frame and rims longest screws you can find, couple of raw plugs and VOILA :LolLolLolLol:
Sorry, Wife would never let me hang a bike on the wall, might do it one day though, see if she will actually pack her bags >:D
-
yep , i use multi purpose brackets from homebase or b and q
-
Mine are just on full display in the lounge :daumenhoch:
If the wife don't like it she can try her mums :yahoo_silent:

got mine hung up in the dining room :daumenhoch:
took a lot of persusion :knuppel2: :knuppel2:
loads of wall frames on ebay, mine cost £12
-
My wife and I have discussed this, argued several times, even screamed at each other!
Until I then realised it was much easier to just nail her to the fooking wall and hang the bike on her nipples, no damage to the frame at all. >:D
Problem solved.

3 different methods of hanging in going on in my shed... (more storage solutions than display as such)
Rebel frame hung on simple £2 hooks (but not massively substantial for much more than a bare frame and a little too close to the wall)

Rebel cruiser hung on a B&Q £5 bracket. Nice size for a bike, but not for living rooms, ok for sheds

The beast aka Halfords 2 bike rack. Again not suitable for in doors but great for the shed.

Same here Priv, I'm a lucky lad too. My missus has said I can have a room for the collection when we move later this year. She doesnt know it yet but I'm having it decked out like a shop. They'll be 'Tony's Cycles' signage, 80's till and 80's phone! Let us know when you decide on the wall brackets please as I plan to mount a couple on walls. Cheers :daumenhoch:

What is that women find so wrong in displaying yr pride and joy, by that i mean our bikes. Mrs 4130 is dead set against it, even tho our gaff is a 50/50 thing. She has pictures of her choice up, yet my stuff aint even allowed in 1 off the spare bedrooms. TIS CRAPPOLA. :idiot2: :tickedoff:

I have mine on floorstanding steel frames 2 bikes on each, one above the other...I have 4 frames in the house ;D
One thing I did find, the frames with metal cradles for the bikes, and for that matter bike boot racks where it clamps on to the car....chop up an old...or new for that matter, inner tube and slip it over the metal...protects both bike and car paintwork.

i ilke the look of that one but i wanted the bikes to be level and not on the p**S,obvioulsy with the top tubes not being level using that bracket they wouldn't hang level,so thats why i went for the seperate brackets,to keep the bikes level
i also agree on the bars being to far forward, :'( :'( :'(,but again i wanted both bikes the same height and with the chuffin fridge there it was the only option :LolLolLolLol: and i suppose i could get another 25 inches further back with the bars if i take the oakley 3's off :LolLolLolLol:
