    Slightly over budget (I think it was on offer when I bought mine) but I have found this very good...

    +1 for this, sturdy & good value.

    Or buy some timber, screws and a couple of bits of flat bar and knock one up for yourself for £20.

    Not saying you have to, but I recommend buying a GOOD dishing tool instead of relying on a truing stand to dish your wheels. Personally, I don't believe that truing stands can give you the accuracy that a GOOD dishing tool does. They will get you close but not close enough to suit me.

    Freedom Sports - single-sided means no need for a dishing tool.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
