Mobile Stand

Another Brompton stand knocked together (literally).

It’s been a few years since the first one got done & it’s worked out fine – although impractical to take on a trip away?

Now the latest stand is light & easily transportable.

Ingredients:

  • 32mm OD PVC pipe (actual size to fit inside a Brompton seatpost – PVC sizing seems to be classed as 25mm in plumbing terms!?)
  • PVC Pipe – cut to lengths 5x100mm & 1x165mm
  • PVC pipe fittings to suit

Total cost: about $35

Finished weight: 430g

    This is great, but what prevents it from turning away (if it is not glued together)?

      Ta for the comment. So far gluing hasn’t been needed. The angled outrigger legs are just so that the stand stays upright without use & the angle of the upright support can be tweaked because of the lack of glue. Once the Brompton is on the stand, the weight goes onto the legs at the base (& nothing on the angled legs). Note my later Blog post pic where I changed the angle connectors to right angle items. This was purely to make the stand base narrower for packing & everything works as before.
