...should be strong enough for a couple of lightweight bikes, with appropriate screws/fixings...
4 lightweight bikes + 2 heavy ones...? ;-)
To be honest, the effort required to move the overladen bookshelves that currently occupy part of the only space I could really put this, plus the complcation that one end is onto a wall that isn't at right angles to the other one, and is an interior wall which probably means it won't support anything, means I'd be buying more stuff to sit in a corner and not be used. But thank you for the offer.

@fimm - ...means I'd be buying more stuff to sit in a corner and not be used.
But fimm, you missed the "free to a good home" bit... and you'd be helping to free up one of my corners!
Must stick them up on the swap shop thread on the off chance that inspiration might strike others...

@Baldcyclist: that's a standalone clock balanced on the top. The other two dials are barometer and thermometer, but I suspect they don;'t work.

Aargh, I did, this is true. Further investigation of the storage area reveals that the funny wall shape problem might not be as bad as I first thought... though a solution would still be needed. I am tempted but I am still thinking about it.Posted 12 years ago # -
Re: supporting wall problem. I don't know if it's visible in the photos, but while the frame is attached to the plaster for extra lateral stability, as far as load-bearing goes it's an independent structure. The vertical load is taken by the four legs.
Even the lateral bolts are more about perfectionism - the thing can't go anywahere since it's snug against the walls, but the brackets stop any wee shoogling.

Ah, I see now. That is well beyond my ability to build...
I might still take one of Roibeard's poles off his hands, to clutter up my flat..Posted 12 years ago # -
"Hrm. Demerit one point from Mr. Previous Occupant, since the hooks don't really thread into the clamps that well."
Looks to my trained eye that he's used wood screw type hooks into ducting clamps. While that may "work" it'll never fit properly.
