what do you recommend that is reasonably priced ?
Many would say that
this stand isn’t reasonably priced but I would argue that it is the best value. You can buy a cheaper stand but it won’t work as well nor last as long…even in the Park line. The clamp is by far the best clamp around. It will handle a very wide range of tube sizes. The clamp force can easily be adjusted to prevent crushing the tube. And it is easier to operate single handed than the silly screw type clamps. I have that kind of clamp at home and far prefer it to the Park screw type clamps my local co-op has.
My stand isn’t the professional grade one but it is close. I paid a whole lot for it 30 years ago and have never regretted doing so.
