I am looking to purchase a repair stand now. I registered for one of those Park Tool classes to take place in February. I am going to take my old steel (1010) 10 speed Puch beater bike. Hopefully I'll learn how to swap out the handlebar stem and basically do a complete overhaul. I'd like to be able to make it more comfortable to ride again. But, I also have my newer multi-sport bike that I would like to be able to mount on the same stand. It has a thicker, funky frame design. I see here that the Pro Elite stand is popular. I've been able to find it online-- looks promising. But, GLC1968, you sound really confident and pleased with your stand...what stand do you have ?
