There are plenty of cycle computers, gloves, mini foot-pumps, children's h*****s, saddle mount tool-kits and a few tops. I couldn't even see where the price ticket had been for the workstands. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1432#post-13641 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 13:32:37 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 13641@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@recombodna</p> <p>That's pretty much how I felt about workstands until I got one.

Not sure I would have cared to try that in the EBC stand, I had to jam the bike in a corner of the stairwell to get it secure enough to haul on!</p> <p>If I ever get a garage I'm going to get a proper Park shop stand that is bolted to the floor... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1432#post-13539 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:20:54 +0000 Arellcat 13539@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I'm sure it can't be of any a lesser quality than the EBC one.</em></p> <p>That good, eh? That's possibly why mine is made by Park, rather than Marwi. But any workstand beats crouching on the floor for hours! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1432#post-13538 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:17:20 +0000 Dave 13538@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To be honest the stand looks better than the EBC one (which I have owned for a few years) - it might be flimsy and crap in practice but the photos show a better layout of legs and also a nifty handlebar-straightening device... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1432#post-13537 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:22:41 +0000 recombodna 13537@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe it's a different one.
