I have no idea what differentiates a decent stand from a crap one. I'd like to spend less than $100, but I realize that it really doesn't pay to scrimp on tools. I also don't know if it makes sense to look for a used one. I can't imagine there are any wear parts.

Any suggestions? I guess I could build my own, but I'll probably never get around to it (too busy riding).
