Have you actually priced a basic 5 hoop toastrack lately?</p> <p>£50-£70 generally gets you a decent galvanised hoop for 2 bikes, I read this as paying £100 for a 5 hoop toastrack, which would appear to be between 4.8 and 5.4m long - ie fits a car parking space - just.</p> <p>Supply your own bolts to hold it down. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12649#post-150212 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:23:49 +0000 Dave 150212@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So for a little over a grand we could stick 12 staff-exclusive bike parking spaces into one of our allocated parking bays, *and* we would "own a piece of the games?" </p> <p>I wonder if they would laser cut us the company logo and positions, like "Technical Officer" and "Development Team Manager" onto the blanks instead of that tatty games stuff. (Oh, if only the head of our Edinburgh office was a rider who follows CCE ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12649#post-150160 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 13:33:04 +0000 Tulyar 150160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've asked for spec - from photos this is galvanised steel, the hoop bending has been done on a cheap machine/with 'thin' wall tube as the tube has 'flattened' at the bends.</p> <p>Hoops are short (70cm?) and spacing looks tight 80cm? with tubular ground rails, which can be a pain for shorter wheelbase bikes.</p> <p>Looks to be the 5-hoop toastrack design.</p> <p>With Glasgow in 1995 I drew up rack specifications that set tube spec to 'heavy duty' 1.5" gas pipe, and minimum bend radius from mandrel bending, plus specs for quality of galvanising (thickness) and 'paint' finishing. </p> <p>Ordering on price alone gets you thin walled tube and minimal galvanising, so be sure you know what you are getting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12649#post-150068 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:18:33 +0000 chdot 150068@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.sustrans.org.uk/scotland/what-we-do/workplaces/legacy-cycle-parking" rel="nofollow">http://www.sustrans.org.uk/scotland/what-we-do/workplaces/legacy-cycle-parking</a> </p>
