Workstand needed

The Big Cheese

After trying to fix/maintain things on my lap/kitchen table/patio furniture I realise the importance (and need) to get a decent workstand. I have budgeted about £100 and i was wondering who's using what, and what's out there that's reputable and can fold up to put in storage.......

Cheers guys

I use the top one, find it very usefull and good value for money. Slightly less stable than some, but I've moved the plastic guide round a touch and have had no issues whatso ever.

I have the Minoura RS5000, excellent workstand, very sturdy and allows me to clamp the bike by either the seatpost or frame. Cant remember how much i paid for it now but it wasnt much over £100

I'm after one as well. I was looking at the Park Tools PCS-10 it's £99.99 on CRC

Is it any good?

I think it's safe to assume it's pretty good stuff. park tools make exceptional quality stuff- not too expensive either.... will make life a whole lot easier!

I'd go for the Park Tools stand too, they'll last ages.

I've got a Wrench Force stand which I've had for a few years too and can't fault that.
It's designed so I can clamp onto most frames because you can rotate the clamp to any angle.and the legs on it are very stable.
