Reddit mentions of Topeak Dual Touch Bike Storage Stand

Compression post stand. Love it so far, looks pretty badass! The bike on top is no doubt heavier than my Stumpy, and the stand is holding everything fine.

Edit: for size reference, my Stumpjumper is an XL.

I can't touch my walls in my apartment, so I use one of these. It's a tension-pole you mount between the floor and ceiling; it's quite sturdy as long as you find a ceiling joist. If you have the space you can even mount if farther from the wall and, with extra brackets, hold up to four bikes.

Maybe something like this

I don't know about the handlebar problem though.. hmmm

Assuming you're SOL, consider this thing if you have the cash. Doesn't damage the unit and works pretty well for me. I am at ground level though. I'm sure I'd be annoyed bringing my bike up and down elevators all the time.

A new bike probably wouldn't make much difference, but there is always Bike Friday! (Awesome folding bikes)

I would use something like THIS for storage (You can make one much cheaper if you're handy.) Just a cheap PVC/metal pipe with some screw on end caps or something that can twist up and put pressure between floor and ceiling.

Don't even worry about dinging up the staircase. They don't give you much choice, and will be repainting periodically anyway.

Yeah, it's a tension rod with a quick release and a screw for making fine adjustments to the tension. For something that's holding about 50 lbs of bike and not anchored by anything other than tension, it's pretty stable.

This isn't the model I have, but it looks like it works exactly the same way.

Yeah, I'm not leaving my rides outside. The only person with access to my room is me (and the landlord). I have one of these to keep them inside. Expensive, but totally worth it.

You know, I've been searching for a solution for the exact same problem. The best I've come up with is something like this or something like this and moutning it high up on the wall near the ceiling. Neither one is a ideal solution. Right now are bikes are next to our bed. I'm interested to see what other people may post in here.

I have this support to store our bikes. It's quite adjustable. https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Dual-Touch-Storage-Stand/dp/B000FIE4WC

I set it up so the bikes don't quite touch the walls, and I drape a towel over the cassette, just in case. It's held by tension between ceiling and floor, so no need to drill anything either!
