    V doable i'd weld a couple of sprockets onto each scissor connect with a chain and you only have to wind one side. Also this way you could make the whole thing longer (more stable) weld a channel for the front wheel with threaded bar and plate to lock wheel plus add a couple of loops on each side for ratchet straps. Had my dirt bike land on me a few times and crawled out from under it but if the road bike fell off a stand I'd be there till the missus ran out of money:)

    No good for modern bikes that don't have steel frames

    ..that's grand,......

    But.....when you can buy one new for £99, like this...........with 500kg capacity, and different adaptors for different size frames included.........

    ...oh, and the other 2nd handiest thing in the garage ??...the roll-around seat......£11.99. You wouldn't buy the aerosols to paint it, for that money......

    So you have to wind each jack up at a half inch each side......:eek:....it'd take 10 minutes to get the bike up....:p

    I've seen these before but made with just one jack....
