DIY wall mount idea
I’m sure someone has fabricated something similar. But I wanted to share this idea for anyone looking for a fairly inexpensive wall mount/work stand.
I took a 2x8 and bolted some 3/4” black iron threaded pipe, with floor flanges. And covered with self adhesive pipe insulation. Cost me around $20 and super sturdy.

Looks like it will last to the end of time. But if this were in a garage or other traffic area and the bike is in use, someone might bump into it. Paint the pipe caps fluorescent orange or cover with bright tennis balls?

Nice and steam punk. I make long S hooks out of 3/8" all thread padded with scrap garden hose and hang from rafters so I can move them around on a whim. Hope that Park red doesn't overload your system
