Now is it just me, or are bike repair stands obscenely expensive for what they are? Don't get me wrong, I'm one to spend money rather freely, I just like to get something decent to show for it!
Most seem to be around the £180-£300 mark, those that fall below that seem to be of a similar structure/design to my guitar stand, which cost me £20. Why the high cost? anyone in the industry?

Anyone know of any that provide good value for money?
or have their own DIY repair stand design they'd like to share?

cheers!
