"Mark - I had ( I sold it) one of these bike stands, it came with?the DeRosa I bought when I was living in Italy.? There is a problem with it, it will leave a?mark on the bottom of the downtube.? You'll note in the picture that the wt of the bicycle rest on this area of the down tube, the rubber bumper doesn't prevent the paint from wearing in the area.? It's a?nice stand but, be aware. ? Brian Van Baush"

I have a few of these stands, they are great for bikes with tubulars and really handy to have around the shop.

I would agree with Brian's comments though. If you are going to keep a bike on the stand long term make sure you place a cotton rag over the front rubber cradle. The rubber breaks down and will stain the paint on the DT (and it does not rub out!). Learned this the hard way on a 3 Rensho Pista.

Other than that they are great. I just ordered a couple more as I had lost the link to this website years ago.
