This MAY be on topic, as protecting old bikes is an important deal.. I meant to mention that at InterBike, I saw Ultimate showing their new "consumer" repair stand which I think is arguably the best one at the moment. It has a folding trio of legs very like their pro stand and the same soft sliding jaws except using thumbscrew binder rather than that unique cinch setup in the Pro stand. It costs $5.00 less at whsle. than the Park consumer stand, which makes it about $150.00 retail? Still not dirt cheap though! I would love to see someone come up with a sub $100. work stand!
