Snail Garage

hello people im not a regular poster in here but i read a lot of the topics and i have seen a lot of good looking mods and you all seem like nice people :biggrin:

the reason i write about this one bike garage is thet im moving to a new place soon and i dont have a garage for the bike anymore :mad: ,anyway i was searching the web and to my surprise there was one made not too far from where i live :blush: just wanted to share the info if some of you also are looking for a small portable/permanent one bike garage.

Not a bad idea.
But.......................................................................
Retail price - $3600??? (+ tax and shipping) for what is essentially 3 garbage cans cut up and riveted together?

How about a nice bike cover for $40?

If it can be bolted to the ground, and locked, to create a "secure" parking environment then sure... But yeah, $3600 is a bit much...

$3600 sounds a bit much yeahh i just checked the swedish currency against dollar and including tax i come to a total around $2200 unless im doing something wrong tho... sounds a bit much to charge $1400 for shipping ....

*edit saw in the post they want $3600 AND shipping? :/ yeahh thats truly insane tbh :(

For that kind of money you can stop at the local hardware store and buy one of those nice permanent sheds that can store your bike, tools, lawn mower, etc (at least in my neck of the woods). :blink:

Very good point,and that snail doesn't look all that roomy either....Monk

Great concept, but very pricey.

Forget the lawn mower, you can buy a nice tool bench and tools for your shed-garage at that price! :)

For that price I'll fly over and build you a shed. :biggrin: (Atlanta to Oslo round trip $440 at bootsnall travel) :blink:

I was looking for this just now. Found the Cycle Shell, which is much cheaper, but its much less secure. I like the design and how it actually looks secure, but for that price, I could go out and buy a "shed" big enough for 10 bikes with multiple garage-style doors.

For that price you could have a small shed you could actually work on the bike in. You could buy a used box van cheaper than that.

You could buy an inclosed trailer for about the same price.
