I made this today, as we had been leaning our bikes up against furniture and walls and they were generally in the way.
We needed a use for some worn-out rims that I had kicking around - I've been scavenging wheels (for spokes and hubs) out of the scrap metal pile at Recyclistas. One's a Sun Rhyno-Lite and the other's an old Araya. Both were too worn & warped to be rescued.
The wooden frame is a single 8-foot 2x3: $1.45 (plus tax) from Home Depot.
It seems to do the trick!
Work has also begun on the Fiori San Remo - the handlebar (a lovely Nitto riser) was bent, and the rear axle bearings long gone. I have relaced the rim and got some crummy steel cruiser bars - it's making good progress.
