Bicycle workshop (ie: man cave) picture thread

Justin Fox · 04-02-09, 02:40 PM

I love seeing pics of other peoples workshops.

There's a section of NZ's SPOKE magazine (which Paul so kindly sent me) dedicated to riders and their workshops, there's a Giant advertisement which pictures Jared Rando tuning a bike in his super cramped workshop (very inspiring pic which I'll scan when I find it).

So, post 'em up!

I'll start with a few I've found on Flickr:

Vintage!

Peekaboo.

PS: Supertight - that's clean, but to be expected from you

I'm working on my one, far from clean, will post a pic at the end of play today.

OK here's my office, now workshop, still a work in progress.

I'm considering extending it outside, see the space outside? It's perfect, there's a hose out there too.

I love these photos, with all this talk of supercheap auto releasing a category killer bike franchise Australia wide it makes me wonder if little bike stores/mechanics will survive in the future.....I hope so

Jared Rando's man cave.

Q. Jared, this is a terrific photograph taken by Damian Breach. Tell us about this room. Where is it? How big is it? What is it—a garage, a shed … a modified outhouse?
A. The room is a garden shed in my parent’s back yard which has been turned into a mini bike workshop. It's an awesome setup and I spend plenty of time out there working on my bikes and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Q. You've told us before that, when you're not riding gravity, you're fishing. What's the stuff on the ceiling? Are you mostly fishing in the surf, or deep sea, or lake trout?
A. I fish for pretty much anything but on the ceiling there is mainly my saltwater gear- there's a couple of 12ft surf rods and some other lighter gear. It's only a small part of all my gear on the ceiling there though!

Q. With this shop, you must be pretty popular with your riding buddies. Do you do a lot of work for friends?
A. I'm always working on my friends bikes. I like having my bikes running really well and it's the same for my friends. In fact I probably spend most of the time working on my Dad's bikes- he rides more than me! It's something I really enjoy and I find it quite relaxing. I actually work a couple of days a week in a friend’s bike shop and I really enjoy it so if I'm not working on my friends bikes at the shop, I'm working on them at home.
