What Is Your Favorite Display Stand?

I've got a Persons Y shaped stand but am not fond of the metal on metal underneath the bottom bracket. I've been wrapping that area of the stand with some bar tape.

What is your display stand of choice?

I am afraid that as I don't have a beautiful chrome Paramount, I don't have any of my bikes on display .

The ACME stand, as shown in Brett Horton's website, and once sold by Bradley at American Cyclery in SF.
It's all wood, so nothing touches your bike except wood.
I'm planning to start fabricating a few of these on a trial basis, if it goes well this might become a "cottage industry" for me, and I'll let this forum know all about that if so.

Picture below of the Person's stand. The hook end that has a rubber sleeve over it goes over the down tube. The middle part (where I usually put the bar tape over) is what the bottom bracket sits on. The bike rests on the front wheel and the two feet of the stand with the rear wheel elevated. They show up on ebay from time to time but I found mine in the wild.

The Paramount is still in pieces so no pics of it yet. However, plans are in the works to get it back together soon.

Mine is similar, but has a rubber-like coating. I've forgotten where I picked it up, but I remember it wasn't expensive.

I like Scooper's with the coating. And, if it's good enough for Stan to use on his Waterford, it's good enough for the rest of us .

In the meantime, the world waits for BlankCrows' Paramount to be revealed to the masses.
