Any racing rigs/setups around?

I went into my house after looking about for some kind of wheeled device to help carry the weight of the rig. Nothing. I was gutted and shut up the garage for the night. Then a EUREKA moment! I ran into the garage again and took one of the huge blue plastic pipes and cut it into 5 pieces. I was going to roll this like they did in ancient times. Except rolling it over rough ground wasnt so easy, it actually slid along the length of the plastic really easily. So thats what I did. With the light fading fast (you can see the darkness as Im just entering the kitchen) I shoved this thing all over the place and managed to get it into my computer room.

I have just had a shot of it and its fantastic. I have to put my pedals much lower though as I measured it with big walking boots on that I was wearing while doing the build. I never realised just how big they were until I tried it in my socks!

I know these are quite boring photos, but its what allowed me to single-handedly get this heavyweight rig into my house over rough ground and up 1 foot on height.

There are of course a few finishing touches to be done and I'll do them as soon as I get the pieces I need.

I have to say, Im gobsmacked at how well this has turned out. If Id been shown this at someones house Id never have believed Id have been able to make this on my own.

Id like to thank everyone who has given me advice in the thread and also a very special thanks to Wayside over on GTPlanet.com for so kindly providing his sketchup plans that enabled me to build this.

Extremely strong pipe cut into pieces with the jigsaw.

Now the akward bit of raising it up onto the decking to get it in the kitchen doors.

Light is fading fast here as I prepare to slide it into the house.

Sideways and Im inside at last.

Entering the warmth of the kitchen.

Hmmm now this isnt going to fit so easy...

This should do the trick.

and finally, I thought Id never see this done today, sitting ready to go!


THANK YOU!
