A Good C&L Score!
 

No, not a bike score, but still a good score for my C&V bikes. It was a PCS-4 Park Tool Stand in like new condition. The seller said make offer. I was completely honest in telling that seller that money is real tight, I can only offer $40. I told him I know the stand is worth more, and I wish him luck with his sale.

The seller replied back, thank me for my kindness and honesty, and told me that he going to hold out for more. I replied back, I didn't blame him, and the stand is worth much more. The next day, he emailed me to come get it. He rather somebody like me have it.. ;) It is a Park Took PCS-4 Tool Stand is excellent condition. I would give this a 9 with 10 being new.

This stand sells on Amazon for $245 at dicount with msrp being at $362!!

I am starting off the New Year C&V style!! ;)

Congrats on your good fortune.

I use the same stand at home, and a portable Park stand at the cabin.

You'll never have to buy another stand, as they are overbuilt in my opinion.

Nothing like a good stand to make life easier.

May many great bikes find their way into its cradle!

Great deal, a good stand is always nice to have

Now, I am looking to get my first good bike score for 2012!! ;)

Excellent score! I'm hoping to find one in the horizon.

Every time on the mechanics forum someone debates what is the best budget price workstand out there, I always post: "think used". This makes a great example! Well done.

Now keep your eyes out for some used tools!

good score

Will do, and you know I passed on the cheapos too.. ;)

score!

Good score on that 'cehoward'. I went for years wanting a nice bike stand and finally coughed up enough to buy an 'Ultimate' stand. Real pretty red and black one. Exactly one week later my boss (who knows I ride) gives me a Park pcs-1 stand he got from his sister for free. :crash:

Enjoy

Yup, me too...

Got my fancy one when a local bike shop was going out of business...

And got the portable when I wanted to buy myself a birthday present...

I'm looking for a good stand, was thinking of getting one where the bike rests and is clamped on top. But I'm open to getting one similar to your. Does a stand like that leave any scuff marks on the paint of the top tube, where it grips?

That is one fantastic stand. It has a pro clamp assy.

Nice! I recently got a nice Park stand too and it sure is handy to have. Have fun with it!

You might have used up all your bike karma for the year scoring that :)

Looks almost shop-quality, there - nice one!

I saw one on New Years Eve locally for $60, but I was so doggone sick I couldn't get out of the house to even check it out. Oh, well...

Enjoy!

Assume it will - and simply wrap the jaws in an old T-shirt or shop rag. Sorted!

i paid 40 dollars for my PCS-9 stand in the summer i thought i got a great deal!

compared to this stand i would have to say that i got my eyes gouged paying 40 dollars for a pcs9

We on the same page. About 6 months ago, I got a used one like this for $50.http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...640775&thumb=1

Still got it, and I use it in the garage. But, the PSC-4 is the chit!! ;) and for $40... ;)

Nope, and I think most of us used something in between the clamp and the bike just for insurance..

Yup, it has this on it, and this sells for $160... ;)

Great deal, and it's a nice bookend to the ethics and morality thread further down the page. If I had waited to buy a good bikestand used, I'd still be waiting, I think; I've seen only two or three advertised in the past three years and they were gone before I got to them. Instead, I bought a new, expensive Feedback on the advice of the BF high rollers here.

My wife just alloted me a one of the bedrooms for my bikes!! ;)

That is how she got the bikes out the kitchen.. ;)

Anyway, that stand is in the middle of that bike-bedroom and it cradles the bike I will ride that day..;)

BTW, now I have a stand in the kitchen, the garage, and the bike-bedroom... ;)

Tell me life isn't sweet!! ;)

I do have a Spin Doctor stand and a PCS-1 stand, I paid $50 each for them used. . But, they can't touch this PCS-4 in new condition!!

I was just lucky to catch it..

One in the kitchen? And in a bike bedroom?!? Yeah, life is most definitely good.
