No, bike stands are for people who want their bike at chest height, easy to work on and won't fall on them every 10 minutes (especially when they are pissing about with cantilever brakes and need 3 hands for example!)

Goes without saying, I don't have a bike stand.

This^^^

Also, nice Bob Jackson there.

classy build, I like. What tyres are those?

this is the state of my visp at the moment. Just strayed it with a few coats lacquer, and got black planet x track forks, carbon stem and carbon seat post arriving soon. As well as bright pink bar tape.

burn it with fire!!

Cheap and practical modern track frame.

Practical and Track frame is a oxymoron. Practical is a old racer with gears, mudguards and a pannier rack. Practical is a old mountain bike with slicks on. A track frame is not practical ... more LFGSS lies.

Cantis are a bitch to set up properly

just wait til the pink bar tape turns up :D

I feel sorry for your bike.
