Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Looking for some shop advice. What is the best repair stand? Looking for something portable that will work in a home shop. Strong enough to be convenient and safe for a early Italian 10 speed to a full dress ballooner. I see Park has quite a few stands. Anyone have a favorite model # or comments? Thanks!
 
Park Tool Home Mechanic Repair Stand - PCS-10

Our shop has three of these...it will definitely hold ballooners and tandems.

Get the optional work tray. It can also be converted to a truing stand.

I have the PCS-9 and really like it but the only thing I don't care for is using the allen wrench when adjusting the height. I didn't feel the price difference for the 10 was worth it because I'm cheap. For 99 bucks shipped new in 2010 I was happy.

 
Take a look at the Las Cruces NM craigslist ( bike parts ) he has one for sale for 100 $, might cost you 20 $ for shipping, I think it's worth. It's park tool PCS9.
 
The workstand from Aldis supermarket is great, if there is one near you, They usually show up in April-
I have one of the Park stands 49autocycle has and it is a very good thing. The Aldi stand is a little flimsier, but folds down smaller for storage. There are a LOT of threads on this board about workstands. Some like them some do do not.
 
Thanks everyone! I was leaning towards a Park stand. They seem to be the standard as far as hobbyist use. The prices are a bit surprising! What isn't these days?
The 9 or 10 look to be the same with better hardware on the 10. I looked at used ones. People are asking just a few dollars below retail. Have to bite the bullet and order one.
Sure would beat working on my knees! Thanks!
