What is the bike stand  made from??

b0dem:
The bottom is from a heavy duty trash can roller, the top is some plastic bucket I got at home depot. So all in all cost me 17 bucks. Works pretty good, and rolls around nice.

Danger4u2:
  Your last picture (Picture 037.jpg)  shows a home made pipe to frame mount.  Most likley it broke the metal mount on the pipe.  Rubber looks to thin and was bolted to tight making the metal tab on the pipe flex more than a stock rubber mount.  That's what it looks like to me.  I bought extra stock mounts for my parts inventory I'll find one and take a picture of it.

I am going to make on of them for the shop. That is just much easier than lifting and moving the bike then going back for the stand, only to lift the bike again. The base looks like it is a good width also.

Danger4u2:
  He's a picture of a stock pipe to frame mount.  From the pipe side of the tab that bolts to the frame to the flat face where the stud comes out is 5/8th of an inch.  The rubber between the two metal parts is 1/2 inch.  The rubber part is what broke on mine.  So far the new one I installed has held up.
