    Bought one today and once I had assembled it I just couldn't believe the quality of the workstand.
    Had a look at my neighbours Park Workstand today and realised the while his cost over £140 against £30 for the one from Lidl.No contest.
    Well done Lidl.

    Just been using mine this afternoon. Glad I bought one - works great!

    I bought one about 3 years ago- the rotating head comes loose enough to rotate of its own accord very quickly, but other than that it's still a bargain.

    It's an awful lot better than the £70 elite stand my uni club purchased soon after. However, I find it really difficult to get the pedals to clear the legs, which is a real pain when working on the gears!

    Got one from Lincoln store on Thursday afternoon, first impressions are that it seems a great stand for the price, really sturdy especially when compared to my mate's which is a 2-legged design and comes close to topping over all the time. Finally managed to sort my FD out :D

    Still a big pile of them in the Wathamstow shop.

    Nearly gave up trying to find them as they were buried under suitcases and chainsaws (obviously!)

    I indexed my gears (for the first time) this morning on mine and can now use my lowest gear.

    So I guess it's paid for itself.

    Thank you Lidl.... Oh, and Youtube for the handy instructional video. :D

    Only I did have to tidy the garage floor first as the footprint is pretty big. :?

    Just a heads up:

    I picked one up yesterday, but it was missing two parts- the tool tray and the handlebar brace.

    Took it back and exchanged for a compete one. Might be worth a quick check in-store before you buy to save another trip.

    Now you mention it, mine didnt come with the handlebar brace.

    Got the cheap looking tool tray which I never bothered to fit.

    Price will still be £30, the issue is whether there are any left in stock or not.

    Managed to crack the tool tray during the install.... :?

    Should have used a torque wrench !!

    Torque wrench??! Its just a small try to support a few nuts n bolts etc- just nip it up by hand til it doesnt slip down the tube!

    Got one of these too and very glad I did, knocks spots off the cheapo Ebay one I got for around the same price. I'm blown away by the quality!
