Cast Iron Bicycle Repair Stand

[Manhrs]

I found this Artifact on Craigslist for 75 bucks . I cant find any markings except a 60 on the adjusting wheel . This thing operates smooth as butter , and was built to last .

Nice, you gonna use it.

Nice, you gonna use it.

Definitely it’s already in use , i had to put a microfiber in the clamp until I figure out a permanent pad replacement.

Nice find!

That is exceptional. I've always been proud of my commercial grade Park stand but now I want to go kick rocks at it after seeing yours.

odd that it appears to have no markings whatsoever

somewhat reminiscent of the Desimone's repair stands which were manufactured in San Jose, California for several decades

they were what many shops employed prior to the launch of Park in 1969

Would a sliced pool noodle work?

Would a sliced pool noodle work?

That's creative thinking. You must be using a younger brain.

Pool noodle might not last too long, how about that black foam water pipe insulation.

there might even be some on the hot water pipes in the basement just waiting to be trimmed a bit.

I was thinking DeSimones as well... Park replacement jaw covers are cheap and could be made to fit, or cut out some car tire sideawalls. I'd go for the Park replacements, even if they might be a little short:
