Hey guys, hope you are all fighting fit...  My good wife has finally accepted my Meta 5.5 as part of the family and understands the garage is a cold, lonely place for such a bike! We have agreed on wall mounting the beast on an internal wall in our spare room but we can not find a decent wall mount... Any suggestions for a 'nice' (wife's choice of word!) mount or bracket... Thanks in advance, Pete.

I use a wall mount for my meta and to be honest, its a pain. It takes up more room than leaning the bike against the wall, and depending on the saddle height, it can really get in the way.

I use one of these type things (loads on the market)

If you (or the wife) definately wants one then try to get one with lots of rubber or foam over on the hook (rubber is better Wink)

HI ,

I liked this one which keeps my old ht kona on the wall in a horizontal fashion by the top tube. it was from evans and cost a princely tenner i think. sorry bout the unclear pic but it looks like a pair of mini racing bike bars on a stem which will fold down.

if you stick it high on the wall it will be out the way in a decent sizze room -
