I'm caught on the horns of a dilemma Ian. I like old fashioned, simple bikes, but the older I get, the more I find maintaining them to be a pain, both physically and metaphorically! I must apologise for nor taking you up on your very kind offer to come and look at your bike lift. I've been vacillating between an easyrizer lift and a hydraulic bench, but have finally order the later. I hope it makes bike maintenance less of a chore...
