Vintage Repair Stand?
I finally got a repair stand! $50 off CL. the seller told me it was about 15 years old, and an Easton brand, which I hadn't heard of. the powder coat is recent. Has anyone seen one of these before?

easton? it looks alot like the old Blackburn from the early '90s. I liked mine but always thought is would be better if I filled the feet with sand or concrete to make is a bit more stable
OH I made a typo. my blackburn is long gone I forgot to take when I sold my store
. my bontrager is OK but could be a bit taller
true though the sand bags would be a good idea.

Filling the feet with concrete, sand or lead shot might make it harder for you to move it. Just place a sandbag over each foot; that should help considerably.

I have one of these Blackburn stands also, it's not bad. You just have to remember not to lean a bike against it when it's unloaded, it will tip backwards at the mere suggestion... The sandbag will fix that too though.

Sandbags sound good. Its lightness is a big advantage. And Blackburn I've heard of- their racks are awesome.
