No

Its only about a foot tall and holds the bottom frame behind the down tube.

I ordered one believing it to be much taller and holding the cross bar frown

Sadly not frown

I am still looking for one myself.

Plenty on ebay but silly prices IMHO for what it is.

Yeah, its the same as punch bag stands, daft price for a few bits of metal and a clamp.

Was about to recommend the same thing. Bought mine a couple of weeks back and am very impressed so far.

Not a 'budget' one, but bought a pcs-10 a few months ago and am very pleased with it.

Isn't that the one that was offered with a really good tool kit bundle a while back? Kept meaning to buy one.

I have a LifeLine Elite Team Workstand;

Very sturdy, but is also quite light and packs away small enough to chuck in the boot when buggering off to Wales for a weekend.

That looks reasonable. You can be my tester, when it arrives, let me know if its any good, ta?

Feedback stands seem popular in bike shops, and get positive reviews almost everywhere. I'd give 'em a look.

Have a Park PCS-10 myself, and it's...meh. Put together properly, everything nice 'n' tight, yet it still slips/turns and wobbles. No way worth the £100+ they go for...

ACE!

Lidl never let me down. I'll be in Portugal then but I'm sure they'll have some left.

I just bought one of these. Great bit of kit, folds up nicely to pack away and not expensive.

Missed them in local shops. Going to try slightly further afield.

Not sure if you can still get these but as long as you are on flat ground it works very well for both my road and mountain bikes
