I live in an apartment in Sydney and keep my bike indoors. Does anyone know where I can get good value bike stands that live in my apartment? I'd prefer ones that lifts the whole bike off the ground so that the wheels dont dirty the carpet.
Try Howards Storage World. I have seen several types of bike storage solutions in their stores. These include a wall hook in which the bike is suspended by its wheel from a large 'hook' affixed to a wall, a 'tower' type model where the bike is suspended from a couple of hooks from the top tube and a couple of floor stands. Otherwise, ask your lbs; they might know of other products.

Try bunnings warehouse i have a bracket that bolts to the wall and has 2 hooks that support the main crossbar at either end, works a treat was only 15.95!
Thanks guys. I dont really want to drill holes in the wall. I think the floor stand solution will be the best. I have looked on the net and they sell for over $200. How much is the one in Howard's Storage? I will definitely go to check it out.

Hi HT606
All I recall is the floor stand types in which you place one of the wheels into the stand and this keeps the bike upright. From memory they were selling for between $70 - $100 for a two bike stand. I don't know the cost of the other model I saw that seemed to be a free standing floor model which held the bike suspended. I imagine the cost to be far more. Alternatively, you could always buy a bike repair stand; the type which clamps around the top tube of the bike. This way you could have both a repair stand and a bike holder. I've seen them being sold on eBay for around $150 brand new. Good luck.
Got the stand today from Burwood. It is a simple steel rack that rest against the wall and has hook coming out to frame 2 bikes. A little over $100 was worth the dosh I think...
Assembled it and it is very sturdy. Not bad mate...not bad...😎 😎 😎
