$5 dollar bike stand
I made this stand to work on my bike. Built with a $5 dollar clamp and a old satellite dish mount attached to my tool box. I can rotate the arm up 90 degrees when not in use.

Have you tried it with a bike? I can see that thing tilting over as it looks unstable way at the edge like that...but then again maybe the tool cabinet is heavy enough.

I've been going around-the-horn thinking of stands myself. After a year of using a wood 2x4 version, I got a PCS-10 last night.
I see that you are going to squeeze your horizontal tube... careful you don't crush/dent it. I ain't touchin' my aluminum with mine.
Oh and wish I had a welder at home!

flip it. seriously though, it would be better if it grabbed your seatpost instead of your top tube.
i made something similar for my basement shop. good work.

Thanks for the compliments. I don't clamp the top tube hard, just enough to provide lateral stability. You don't need a tool box either, you could bolt it to a bench or vertical wall/support.
