phwoar, that is a lovely bodge! inspirational stuff
cheers @miro_o and @HK_Berlin. think I'll go for a cheap n nasty ebay special then.
stay tuned for updates / moaning while I embark on my first wheelbuilding adventure...

I thought about one of those as a cheap alternative to an upside down bike - only issue might be stability, if the whole lot flexes or wobbles when you spin the wheel it'll be a royal nuisance - the Park etc. ones are pretty meaty for this reason
I ended up making one out of a couple of old clamp stands & bits - at 20kg it's not the most mobile but a decent bodge & has a certain industrial chic...
