I am looking for a bike workstand for my basement/garage for when I do minor tune ups/cleaning of my bike. I will not be doing major repair work as I’m completely unqualified to do so. I am obviously NOT looking to break the bank and would ideally like to keep the price to around $125 or less. Anyone have a suggestion? This is way out of my comfort area and I want to make sure I buy something that is a) going to last b) worth the dough.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the Minoura repair stand aka Performance Spin Doctor Pro Repair Stand II currently selling for $109.99 at PerformanceBike: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/Profile.cfm?SKU=13160
But the plastic cap that covers the nut that adjustes the rotation angle of the clamp broke several years ago so now it is going to be replaced with the Ultimate Pro BRS-70 Consumer Repair Stand currently $119.99 at Perfromance: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/Profile.cfm?SKU=12326

I have the park PCS-1 which lists for 150 but I got for $125 from performance a month or so ago. I think that I saw it in some other catalogs (nashbar, performance, ??) for $125 recently. It is a nice stand with adjustable height and good support.

I asked the same question a couple of months ago.

I bought the Minoura RS 4000 from Bike Nashbar. It’s much sturdier than I expected it to be. So far I am happy with it and getting a stand was a great investment. If I never use it for anything else than making it easier to wash my bike it will have been worth it.
