Bike table

Looks very similar to the harbour freight item - harbour freight is synonymous with cheap'n'nasty on the advrider forums

HFT stuff is OK as long as you don't expect top o the line items for half the price. For what you get the prices are good and there is a full money back policy. Mostly better than what I have seen at Super Cheap for a lot less dollars.

Probably going up by 10% now with stupid thinking he can win a trade war with China.

As cheap as their stuff is I don't think I will loose any sleep.

Reminds me of a guy in my town who tried to make a heap of bike lifts out of old hospital gurneys like this one only much older and very, very used...



He didn't understand why it wouldn't hold the weight of his ZX1400 and why nobody else wanted to buy them.

There's a guy on the maintenance staff at ChCh Public Hospital who's been known to put old beds in the way of bike guys. I met him and got to have a look at what he was putting out for disposal about 2 years back. I aimed one local at them and he did convert a bed to a table. He reported it was a shitload of work and I'm sure it was only feasible because he had access to heavy fabrication gear at his work...
But if you do particularly want an outsize table, it's about the only option. They were actually too big for my workshop.

Has anyone bought one of those big ones on TM? Are they any good? I would buy second hand if anyone in Canterbury has one for sale..I would need the table length 1.8 meters.

i have one that looks very similar to that and i have no problem putting the goldwing up on it, yes it is lightly built compared to a quality one but budget didn't allow spending $1500 or more on a better one and this one has certainly made it easier to work on the bikes, i have taken the front wheel clamp off as it didn't work very well, mine came from an outfit in Rangiora.

I pulled the trigger on this bad boy today.

I don't think you could buy the castors, fittings and steel and DIY any cheaper. So I'm pretty happy about it, it's a great price and I only have two restorations left in me before old man arthur-itis gets his bastard needles into me mitts big time. It'll see me out.
