Rack Fiend
The 'Rack Fiend' bicycle rack liberates precious floor area and stylishly compliments your wall, bicycle and space.
The 'Rack Fiend' bicycle rack is a minimal but powerful form to elegantly suspend your bicycle and display your passion and pride for cycling as if it were a work of art upon your wall. In fact, when not holding a bicycle, the 'Rack Fiend' emulates a piece of sculpture and casts beautiful shadows, providing enjoyment anytime.
Bicycle enthusiasts love the Rack Fiend as it brings forth a truth in craftsmanship and a simplicity in materials, installation and use; and will last for perhaps a century or more at the cost of an extremely low environmental impact in its production.
The Rack Fiend prototype was originally designed to hang a 2006 IRO Jamie Roy fixed gear track bike. Two forty-eight centimeter bent steel rods with inset leather pads form "arms" that cantilever the bicycle and are welded to a nineteen centimeter diameter circle of rolled steel rod, which forms the complete fixture and contains two counter-bored holes for mounting.
Materials include leather and ten millimeter powder-coated steel rod. The fixture mounts to a wall with toggle bolts, anchors or screws and is suitable for drywall, wood paneling, brick, concrete, and others. The first version of the Rack Fiend measures thirty-seven by nineteen by twenty-nine centimeters. Additional sizes are produced for a range of bicycles. Requires horizontal top tube.
