Sputnik frame fixture Q.
I have a fixture on order.
Need to make a stand for it -- I have a good idea of how I'll do it but I figured I'd reach out to the collective Veloci-pedia for any ingenious tidbits of wonder + wisdom.
FWIW, my stand will need to roll.
Danke

"A backplate is included to mount the frame jig in a Park bike stand." This from their website description. So maybe the easiest roll around solution is to install castors on a Park stand of the correct jaw style. Andy

Yeah I know the Park Tools part + I thought about putting casters on the big metal base but it just doesn't work as well as I want it too.

What does Jeff at Sputnik say? I would think that he's given this more thought than most.
Also check out Drew/Engin Instagram/Flickr pages. He has a Sputnik and he's a smart guy so whatever he came up with will be a good solution I'm sure.

Re: Sputnik frame fixture Q.
Using a fixture in a park stand sucks, but I can share how to add castors for moving, and also have it sit flat on its base when stationary, much better then always on castors. A park bench mount arm is a better solution. Get a shitty swivel machine vise and mount it on a pedestal, put the park arm I'm the vise, now you can pivot and rotate, I can find a pic to show you somewhere. The engine stands are ok, if there a good height for you. But most don't rotate for a shit, without some mod's. The fixture that groovy cycles did has the best stand I've seen, but hard to duplicate. I'm building myself a new one now, wish it were done, I would share pics, I think it's a good solution, but requires machining

Sam,
I think I understand what you're getting at. Would you mind posting picts? Heck, even picts of the one you're currently working on would be helpful to someone on the forum.

Eric,
How tall are you and what's the distance from the floor to the center of the clamp?
Thanks!
