New repair stand on the market...
It's called Repair Stand One.
Note the differences in design from last year's model (in the background).
credit for the catch goes to Tom Bombadil from the 50+ forum.

I prefer last year's model. The country probably would have held up better on it.

But I think it was a brilliant touch to make the hot air dispenser an integral part of the stand.

Actually I've seen that before but I could never figure out what it was good for.

You Know!? For Kids!
But it is holding the wheels off the ground and the weight of the wheels will destroy the frame!!!

Buying a bike is the same as riding it all the way on the trail, right? Mission accomplished!
(It's much safer that way. Otherwise, you might take the wrong trail and ride off a cliff, cuz there's no way you can turn back and admit that you took the wrong trail.)

Dick should have told him that he was supposed to RIDE the bike.

I think that having no bike stand would be better than having this model. A bike stand should firmly hold and steady the bike, not destroy the frame while trying the fix the broken parts.

Nice elbow in the gut brace. Who knew you could make that bike look heavy?

I hope this picture doesn't hurt Trek sales! It seems that everything that Mr. Bike Stand touches turns to crap. Actually, I think he would make a much better bike stand than he does a president.

I actually like his clothing. Comfy & casual. Not sure America would be ready for a President in lycra.

I saw that movie - PeeWee relentlessly tracked his beloved stolen bike across the country and was reunited with it - there he is holding it up triumphantly. "Mission Accomplished"
