Bike rack designed for the use in an SUV, $50.00

This bike rack I made for a Ford Explorer. It allows you to securely carry two bikes inside your vehicle. Taller bikes you just remove the seat post with a quick release adapter (available in bike shops). Here is a similar design without the two wheel holder's (value of additional 40.00) and it cost $87.00 : http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Stableloader-2-Bike-Truck-Mount/dp/B000ACAM6K

If you were to purchase two bike wheel holders and two fork mounts alone it would cost $80.00 ( http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Cycle-BH4000-Wheel-Hitch/dp/B002OLX04Q + http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Racks-T970-Block-Bicycle/dp/B000QJC5F8/ref=pd_sim_sg_3?ie=UTF8&refRI... ) and then the oak materials would be an extra cost. Here it is all done up for you and I am selling it all assembled for $50.00. You can always reposition the hardware to suit you. The dimensions of the rack is 42" x 16". It should easily fit the opening of most SUV's, or can be used in the back of a truck. Call if interested, 860-874-7072.
