Check out this wheel truing jig... Listing says it 5'-5" high! I have no affiliation with the seller, but in my 20+ years in biking/wrenching I have never seen anything like it.

Very cool, I wonder if it will sell.

probably not since there is a reserve on an already high price. But hey, at least the shipping is cheap for 200lbs! :D

Wanna bet it's a motorcycle wheel truing stand? I've seen crossover listings on EBay.

I was thinking that too.
Overkill for a bicycle but it is very cool

Looking at the thumbnails, I was all "What does a bandsaw have to do with bikes?"

Weighs 200 pounds, and only costs $10 to ship to CT! Sweet!

My google-fu tells me that's what Bontrager uses to true their wheels. Sounds like a pretty sweet machine.

I built this for myself with some old angle iron from a bedframe and a welder. Its not perfect but it gets the job done! http://kevinstill.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/dscn2220-small.JPG
