Standless stand?

Hmm, I do not see a Tools sub-forum on BF, so why not ask here?

I guess I'll be swinging wrenches more that I have in some time -- on bikes, that is. OK, I've done my share of living-room-floor work, but would like to do better. I do have a workshop in my basement now. In the middle is a steel pole; I enclosed it w/wood when I built out the workshop. You know, it's the perfect pace for a shop stand. I recall when I worked in a shop in the mid-70's, one variation of the Schwinn (by Park?) shop stand was not free-standing but was bench-mountable (probably $$$ and heavy). Is there something like that today? I don't mind a bit of household fabrication to mount it. Plus, maybe I need to reinforce where I'm going to mount it althought it's unlikely I'll be tackling any Varsities or Continentals.
