There is a saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure and that was surely the case for me recently. As I walked out of my garage my attention was drawn to the trailer on my neighbour's front lawn which appeared to be full of rubbish destined for the tip. However somthing caught my gaze and my heart skipped a beat. Was that a bike rack in the trailer? A closer inspection revealed two seperate bike racks each able to hold 3 bikes. They were very rusty but otherwise in good condition. My neighbour wasnt home so I had to endure a nervous wait for him to return before I could ask him if I could take them off his hands.
He was more than happy to hand them over and told me they had been hand made by his brother but he no longer had any room for them. I rewarded his generosity with half a dozen stubbies and carried my prize home.
Eager to try them out I gave them a quick rubdown with sand paper and inserted three of my bikes into one of the units.
All that is needed now is some sandblasting and powdercoating and they will straight inside to the bike room!
