Introduction: Bicycle Repair Stand #2 (Portable)
This is a stand supported by a 35 lb cast iron stand used for an 10' wide umbrella. It's more than ample to support a bike for repair.
Step 1:
This is the shorter pvc extension.
Step 2:
This is the taller pvc extension.
Step 3:
Bar clamp holds bike bar, this detail was covered in my previous instructable.
Step 4:
Slope bar attachment
Step 5:
Another view of slope bar attachment. This configuration allows for sloping the bike to any ange.
Step 6:
Using alternate top attachment for slope or vertical bars.
Step 7:
All components for stand.
Step 8:
The base & steel tube attached to base for support.
Step 9:
Base & tube tilted over for view the bolt attachment to steel tube - this is the umbrella stand as purchased from retailer. The rust has no structural value.

Material list & Clamp I can help with - what base will you use, this design starts with a heavy base which can accept pvc post.
Clamp design info is included in my past postings. Hope this is of some help.

If I build one, I would use heavy cast iron umbrella base that should connect to PVC pipe with a little tinkering. I'm looking for exact sizes of PVC pipes used (cut lengths, diameter, etc..) I will look at your other posts for your clamp design.

Great bike stand. Please list materials needed including sizes of PVC pipe used. What kind of clamp do I use to hold bike top tube? Would rather buy affordable clamp rather than make one (unless making one is easy).
