I figure -since I have some new tires and Kool Stops to put on the Reno- this should make life so much easier. And it opens the door -wide- to doing my own maintenance as time goes by.
This former domestic auto mechanic is just thrilled

Here's my stand - yes, it is an old tow bar bike carrier clamped to a saw horse 
You may assume I am jealous of your new Park Tools stand

Once you get it, show everyone pictures of it folded up. For the money this is a very good stand. I have the previous generation with a screw clamp handle. I think that the cam will be easier to use to grab the seatpost.

Keeping my bikes in proper running order received a major boost when I got my workstand several years ago. Today, I can't understand why I waited so long to get one.
