I have a "Wrench Force" (Trek's former house brand) handlebar holder that came with my Wrench Force labeled Ultimate work stand. It's a telescoping small diameter aluminum rod with a rubber strap at each end. The rod is adjustable for length and the rubber straps wrap around the seatpost at one end and the handlebar at the other. It works well, can fit a variety of bikes and, since the length is adjustable, it can be set to hold the front wheel at any angle you want. I find it very useful.
