I'm not marketing it. It's not my design, but I don't think the Derailer folks would mind it being shared for informational purposes. I have used one. The one I built had two upright tubes because one top tube left it too short. I found that for work involving the wheels turning, it was helpful to tie the bike to the stand so it didn't rock itself out of the stand and into your lap. For other repairs, especially fast or static ones, it's great. On May 28, 2012 12:49 PM, "Joshua Muir" muirjoshua@gmail.com wrote:
That's pretty great. Have you used one?

For anyone who's interested, i've sketched up what it would take to make a stand like i described. hopefully the drawing will be more clear than my prose. you can see the drawing here:
