expensive solution to a non problem

Not a non problem if you live in an american city loft/apartment.

If you want to just showcase your bike, that’s fine......
'nuff said.

Why is raising your bike a foot off the floor any better than resting it beneath the shelf though? Just makes getting it out the door slightly more awkward.

Doesn't the mud get on the walls?

Plus, those books are all going to fall over the second you try and take one down to read.
Style over substance.

True, but anyone who does buy one will inevitably be a niche-whore or a fakenger with a skinny-tubed steel bike.

You'll never get a full sus frame in there.

Best have a nice solid wall to bolt it to, with a nice set of wide bars and a heavy MTB at the end of it I can see some horrific forces/moments for a weak wall.

only if you buy the ones in the link.
Yes, it will struggle with oversize frames, in its current guise, but you could make one slightly wider. Also, not all my bikes are MTBs.Yes, 'non-standard' frames will struggle so, maybe not for those then.
But this is great we've had some really good 'black hat' thinking. Now, I'd like you all to try a bit of 'green hat' thinking and see where we can take this.

Broken down to its constiuent parts, it is just a shelf and hook. One could lean a bike against the wall, and mount a normal shelf abouve it.
However, it's a pretty enough design and, at the right height, would permit other objects to be place beneath the bike - thus further maximising space.
Actually, a matching shoe rack/box underneath the bike would look nice, too, and likely complement the look of the shelf.
I think that puts me in yellow.

You could just use a normal shelf and hang it from that, without the unnecessary groove cut-out.
Now, where's Dragon's Den...
