I put mine up a few years ago and it has world beautifully.
I'm away from my garage, but will take some pictures and post later.

You can see the pipe if slides on. I fit three bikes on this easily and can slide one or two out to get to an inside bike easily.

Fantastic! Thanks Bradford. It looks like I'm on the right track. The threaded hooks will be ordered online since no one local seems to have them. Instead of a Ubolt, I'll use a 2 1/2 conduit hanger like the one pictured below which already has a bolt hole drilled and ready to rock. Add the threaded bike hook along with a couple of washers for reinforcement, nuts, and that should do it. I'll post pictures once it's done.
