You lucky dog, I bought one of those as my first real stand and I love it compared to what I was using, for me the only problem is it is a little short. I have a plan to make it like it's big brother by cutting it in half and installing a inner tube welded in place with holes drilled to raise and lower the top section.

Iowegian I wanted to know why you say use the seat post only, I can see doing this on a carbon bike or maybe a expensive race bike with light gauge tubing of some sort but for every day use on vintage and modern bikes I never use the seatpost just the seat tube. A few hundred bikes have been through this stand without a problem. It isn't as strong as the commercial stand as far as clamping force.
