I second this. It does seem like a bit of a luxury, and for most of my years of bike riding and wrenching I didn't own one (except for a cheap and simple bottom bracket stand like this Amazon.com : Sunlite Bottom Bracket Type Bicycle Display Stand : Indoor Bike Storage : Sports & Outdoors ). However, once I finally coughed up a little dough and bought a Park PC-10 repair stand I realized that I should have bought one 20 years ago. Bike wrenching is oh so much easier and more pleasurable now. Plenty of them show up on craigslist for not too much money.
