£50. I have one and have had no issues with it. Very heavy duty and steady. I honestly couldn't do without it now. I also built my first bike on this.

I have this one too... doesn't fold, but I have the space to leave it up. Couldn't do without it now.

I went for an Ultimate not cheap but then how many stands will you buy. This will last a life time.

Would always go for a stand with three legs for stability and spend a reasonable amount, Park, Topeak, Ultimate all good. I like the Topeak one with the integrated weighing scale!

+1 for the one from the Edinburgh Coop. Just got it a week ago and it is really good. And by the way, it is exactly the same as the one from Ribble shown in the photo by moonshine.

Ouch that's dear, you can get it for just over a ton at Ribble, I keep meaning to get one though for BB work, do you find it good for regalar maintenance Jon? I have a 'normal' tripod affair for routine work but need something to support the BB area.

I have this stand, excellent quality.

I wouldn't put a clamping work stand anywhere near a carbon frame.

If it's good enough for Leopard-Trek, it's good enough for me



Although mine didn't come with the Speed Concept installed

I have the decathlon one. The little tool tray is handy and it's easy to adjust the height.

It's quite sturdy and makes maintenance easy. Mines in the shed , never had a problem with the frame getting scratched either if I hold it in it. Although I gen hold my 953 bike by the seat post.
Get an old stool as well and your away.

Yup, I agree. I got the Bike Coop one for Xmas (£12 more than the sale price :x ). Great tool making maintenance and repairs much easier.

Never mind that.

Just look at the photo...

Look at it.

Just look at it.

It's bloody Leonardo Di Caprio.

If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.
