Decent Bike Stand?

[VeloVT]

*If* Steelynorm is asking about repair stands, I will be VERY interested in the responses. I really need a repair stand. It's getting to the point where I can do a lot of the work on my bike but I end up taking it to the shop anyway because it's just such a hassle to do some things. (Yes, I've been known to hang the bike over my neck by the saddle nose while fiddling with the drivetrain...).

Both BF and I have carbon bikes and the style of stand that supports the bike by the bottom bracket and either forks or dropouts looks appealing to me because it seems like it would be gentler on a carbon frame than putting a clamp around the top tube or seatpost. But BF is skeptical about this style for reasons he hasn't been able to sufficiently defend, in my view .

I'd love to hear about what other use/like/don't like.

Just go ahead and ignore this if Steelynorm is asking about the OTHER kind of stand, though .
