ebay work stands?

mkviken

anyone tried one of the work shop cycle stands from ebay?

they seem pretty cheap and in the photos look pretty decent - just the same as the proper branded stuff

are they any good or can anyone recommend a decent stand for decent money

cheers

Best I've seen for the price is a "RALEIGH-FOLDING-BIKE-CYCLE-WORKSTAND" from Rutland on ebay. I paid £49 + p&p. It's a nice quality stand that does much more then what I was using before. I had seen and thought about the one scazzer links too, but took a chance and I'm well pleased with the Raleigh stand.
