Whilst I could use the bike turned upside down I rather fancied being able to put the stand on the table and build/true whilst sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The height of laziness I know.
You are however quite correct in that I don't want to part with the cash that Bonethrone wants for this beauty:
you mean you dont watch TV with a bike on your lap?
Lacing up the wheel takes the longest, which is done most comfortably sitting down and staring at something more interesting.
Then wack it in a frame and take a minute truing, job done.
if your going to buy anything, buy a dishing tool. Far more useful time saver.
