Makes them in his spare time but they are awesome and I will be purchasing shortly.

Just ordered a pair of GeeTech stands.
If the bike is going to spend it's life parked in the garage it might as well look good....  :rofl:

I was just admiring that stand in your other thread.  :afro:





We're all just sad geeks, aren't we?  :shocked:

No they aren't cheap.  About the same price as Harris, who are kind of the quality benchmark and having had both these are nicer.  It's a bloke making them himself in his workshop too, which I like the idea of.

Why have you hung your callipers up with bungee cords when there are two little pins on the stand to hang your callipers upon?

I'm guessing they were paired up centrally to allow the forks to be carefully removed...?????

The brake lines aren't quite long enough for them to sit properly.  OK for a wheel change but I wasn't overly happy with the angle the banjo/hose was at to be sat for any length of time.
