Yeah I have, for the money it's brilliant. In fact I recommend it to everyone.
I reckon they're excellent value.
sold out. thanks guys.
Gazza, I got one which I'm pretty sure is the same one listed on T7, except from a different online supplier, for a similar budget price.

the one on the left.
i ordered one.......thought this was interesting http://ooocycles.com.au/trainers/TRNE_details.html
I always thought rollers were cool, but a couple of unsavory dismounts led to quick sales! the above solves that?
Has anybody see / heard of this contraption ?

Funky, that same workstand (the $89 one) is for sale on Ebay for $20 less, but still from Ooocycles. Go figure. I just ordered one myself yesterday. It is listed a couple of times so they should have a fair few left.

...that is a steal. It even has a tool holder!
Unfortunately the tool/parts holder is an extra $9.95. Still a great deal though, considering that including shipping it comes to less than $110 with everything.
Another option is the slightly lighter duty rack (25kg vs 35kg capacity) at $59.95 including magnetic tool holder. This one comes in at under $100 shipped

I've had one of the first ones for years - makes cleaning & working on the bike a dream. Maybe I could do with another one though, that way the GF can clean & work on her bike at the same time
Just got my repair stand in the mail. I bought the $69 oooooooooooooooooocycles one off eBay. Amazing quality for the price. The entire clamp assy is placky, but from Isildur's report above I suppose it is tough enough.
Don't know how they can make, ship and sell at the price. Post from QLD was 30% of the total cost.
I have been looking for stand and am stuck between they ones sold on ebay by ooocycle or getting the Park tools PCS-9 from jensonusa.com. I am making an order from jenson anyway so at $120 it's only going to be $20-30 more than the no name one from ebay. Anyone had experiences with the park tools stand? are they really that good or just a brand name?
Hi Snwbrd
I don't know about their stands specifically (although they look good) but their tools are very good indeed. In fact I usually either pick those or Pedros when it comes to bike tools.
I presume you are talking about this one: http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=...

The one on ebay actually looks a bit better and more like the PArk PCS-10.. just curious abut quality really.
This one is identical to the one I have, and the one mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It looks stronger from the pictures.

Nice and strong, and brilliant for the money.
Im thinking I will go with ebayer, your right it does look stronger and at least the seller is in oz if anything goes wrong.. thanks
I just got this one from torpedo7 but it was on special for $99 http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/T7WKWNN60.
I was going to get the one from t7 but I was too late!
