Ikea Bike Stand - Broder Base w/ PVC Fittings

There are numerous versions of Ikea Bike Stands out there. This one is versatile, strong, and attractive. 

This uses the Broder System as its base:
Broder Post
Broder Height Extension and Post
4 x Broder Center Brackets
Rope
2 x 3" inch diameter White PVC 90 degree bracket
Pipe Insulation

Tools:
Jigsaw, String, Tape, Calipers, Pen, Tape Measure

Step 1 Marking the Bike Cradle Part 1

The PVC pipe is the key component of the mount. It must be cut along the long and short axis to allow for the integration with the center mount.

First, mark the 90 PVC fitting for the first cut using string. I chose to follow the preset markings on the pipe fitting.

Following marking on both sides of the pipe fitting. Use the jigsaw with an appropriate saw blade to make the cuts on both sides.
