Looks like a terrible idea to me.Road grime,downtube shifter,cable stops,wheels,forks...all vulnerable to damage.

that certainly applies to every trunk and receiver bike rack as well, though half of those assumptions are incorrect
I'm always amazed at people who lay their bikes (especially multiple bikes) in their truck bed and drive off

I'm on my second one - the stitching finally comes apart after about four years.
must be the Schwinn virus that affects people this way

you guys would really flip over my kayak rig

back to the bike - I would never complain about a Suntour RD - 1962 patent - it's the only RD design that everyone copied after the patent expired and everyone still copies today.

I could see where it would be handy on garage sale day...a guy has to move fast these days during the initial feeding frenzy.

it works as well as any vehicle bike rack, you don't have to take the front wheel off, and it doesn't cost $400 (though I guess it will after 16 years).
I haul bike/bikes several times/wk on it - they strap in rock-solid.

It does look solid .

I can just picture someone loading 4 Colorflows with that gate blanket. Road bike only set up, right?

wrong again - lot of that going around here
both rollfaster and my buddy Stevo are proof you can't associate Schwinn with dunce
so it must be either an individual penis insecurity thing, or the Avis syndrome

while I still like rollfaster's wheel jam, side-by-side handlebars are going to be tougher to deal with than on the soft ride tailgate pad.

View attachment 326320 Not mine, belongs to a friend from work. All OG except tires and tubes. Even the handlebar tape is OG. Really clean bike. He wants me to clean it up for him, it'll really pop when it's done.

Holy thread drift Batman.I forgot why I was here.

Beautiful bike !
