So I was looking to buy a workstand because it makes everything that bit easier.

I did some browsing and found this, which looks the sort of thing I want at an OK price. Howver the photo isn't that good so

* DO the legs fold in at all?
* Is there anything better than this at a similar price?

    I bought this about a year ago and been very happy with it. Easy to set up and pack away and has a small footprint when in use.

    The one you've seen on ribble looks good, legs will fold up and the top tube section will stow in the lower part - worth noting the cheap stands have crap clamps generally, (plastic jaw and arm) don't over tighten/load them and it'll be fine.

    The downside is it is twice the price that I want to spend :)

    Ok, cheers.

    I found the same stand slightly cheaper on Merlin, so went for that.
