This is a very old thread, but allow me to bump it.
I'm going to be doing a whole load of work on a couple of my bikes, bottom bracket and drivetrain stuff as well as re-cabling, etc.
I'm looking for a good, stable workstand. One of the key requirements is that it should pack down very small and be easy to store for the majority of time in which it's not in use.
I don't want to borrow, I want to buy something of quality and be able to use it in future. I've always missed not having a workstand when I needed to do some work on the bikes.
I've picked those simply because 1 site ( probikekit.com ) offers a pretty good selection. But if there are any obvious contenders I've missed feel free to suggest them.
I've very little experience with workstands, and I'm inclined towards one that holds the downtube rather than a low flat platform. But that's only because they appear to collapse into a smaller space for storage.
Basically: Those who have used multiple stands... what would you recommend?

So... what to consider?
