    Hi all,

    I want to make this below. It's a cheap fix for standing bikes.

    Can someone tell me what I should look for and where to go in north Dublin to buy. I imagine if I go into B&Q I'll figure it out but if someone knew the actual names of the bits of piping etc it would be a great help.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's just pvc pipe 90 degree elbows and t joints.

    Bring in the picture to any diy store or plumbers merchants and they can show you.

    Although it will be very light and may not be worth a ****e for holding a bike. There more appropriate ones sold in aldi or check adverts.

    Yeh you're right in fairness, I just figured it would cost peanuts to make a few compared to buying them.

    You could fill it with sand.

    There's about €30-€40 worth of fittings there depending on where you buy in the likes of the Diy stores they could be €4 a fitting and then a length of pipe

    Cheaper to buy one in that case. Thanks for the info.
