I am jealous ... my table for working on bikes isn't height adjustable and it would be nice if it was. Do post some photos ... of the lift and those models Mike mentioned that you keep in your garage! Are they in the garage so your wife doesn't find them??? David from Wisconsin R80Dave

Boy, am I jealous of your work shop. 1st, the adjustable height bike stand.... I have to select different height chairs/stools/chunks of wood/sitting on the floor etc.to get to the height I want. 2nd, I share my "work shop" with the better half's laundry room.  (scary thing, I've caught her folding laundry on my work bench!) 3rd, all my tools are in various bins/boxes.  It would be nice to just Look (at pegboard) and select, instead of rummaging for what you need.   1982 CB750K Daily rider 1982 CX500 Custom - project http://groups.google.ca/group/cx500-restoration-page    Report
