John,

That stand is very similar (but not identical) to the Rothko that I got from Rivendell. These work well. If the floor isn't quite level I would recommend having a 1x1 to lay across in front of the bikes to chock the front wheels. My bike tends to want to roll out of the garage with this stand unless chocked 8^).
