Looking for ideas to build some of my own....maybe save a few bucks and put it towards my builds.

On a side note, yes, I've seen the green one made out of the back half of a Haro. Very cool, but I feel for the rest of the bike.

Good topic!!! Ive seen alot made out of PVC at the tracks

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to post this to get the best responses.

No pics Give us some ideas besides PVC...

I make my own stands but don't have any good pics right at the moment. I'll take a few pics tomorrow at work.

Heres a few pics I promised. The stands I've made are simple and inexpensive to make. I can make about 3 for 20 beans. As you can see I still need to finish painting them to match the bike they go with. Each stand is made to a specific bike since all the frames are different.






If anyone is interested in more details let me know and I'd be happy to share.

very cool, ever sold any?

I guess not... I would pay you 20 dollars each with shipping, and I will give you the measurements

I sure could use one or two of those.

Good idea.

I'm ready to order 3 from you

Here are a couple of the kind that I make.

Yeah, I bet there are a lot of great ones out there and I'm sure some members could sell some! I'd be interested in the right stand for me.

I made this one for Rockford. People seemed to dig it. I'm sure some will "bar-row" the idea in the future! (Ha! Terrible joke I know...)

hey thats sweet...but i could use those bars j/k

I think its bmxaddicts that used the rear triangle of a Hutch for the stand on one their Hutch's...that was pretty cool.

ya, i saw that thing at the vintage show myself
though i'm to young to have enjoyed the whole show there (i'm 28) that was the one thing that dropped my jaw in there
awesome job on it...

I "looped" the open ends after this pic was taken.
You can adjusts measurements for your bike. I use this one for my 24".

Hope this gives you a good starting point.

I could use a couble of those myself! just pm or send me a message. thx Rusychain

Hey Rusty - as you can see my welding skills are far from desirable and I've never considered selling them but stay tuned I am working on something, I'll let everyone know if it pans out.

I know you guys are serious about your bike stands. Here's mine - works pretty good unless it gets windy or until somebody needs a boost and drinks the bike stand contents.
