640.0. "WANTED - BIKE WORK STAND" by HAVOC::KOSS () Thu Apr 28 1988 21:02

    I'm just getting into biking and I can see right away the need of
    a good maintenance program on ones bike. Would love to get a bike
    work stand at a reasonable cost. Any ideas (new? used? make-shift?)?

640.1Try a Wind Trainer FirstAIMHI::JSMITHBikes Spoke_n HereFri Apr 29 1988 21:217
    If you want to save a few dollars and hit two birds with
    one stone do to speak, buy a wind trainer.  Its great for
    adjusting your derraileurs and such, and when winter or wet
    days roll around you'll get double duty out of it.  There seems
    to be plenty of them around cheap at this time of year.  Check
     the For Sale notes, you might find one there.

	I saw at least two work stands sold at "The Big Event" on 
	Saturday... one went to a friend of mine for some undisclosed 
	price and I bought one from the AYH table for $25.

	As usual, the bargains were rampant!  It cost my girlfriend
	only about $20 to do a major upgrade on her drivetrain: 
	Pedals/toe-clips/straps, rear deraileur, new freewheel.

640.4Ask your Mother (Earth News, that is)WINERY::MCALLISTERspring is in the air, and ...Tue May 03 1988 02:314
    sometime in the last year I believe the Mother Earth News had a
    "build a bike workstand"  Looked easy and seemed quite useful.
