What a bargain!!!!
I managed to score a second hand Grip Sport repair stand (bench mounted)
from Ivanhoe Cycles for the grand total of $75. It is in good condition and
apparantly they found that it was too hard to rotate bikes quickly so they
are going for a different model in their workshop.
I orignally talked to them about this stand about 3 months ago or so and at
that stage they wanted $130 or so just for the Grip Sport head (without the
bench mounting plate that had been modified to accept the head). I just
remembered this conversation this arvo and rang up to see if they still had
it - early Xmas present for me was the result.
I just looked on www.gripsport.com.au and they are selling the bench mounted
version for $409!!!! The bench mount that I scored is actually better as it
has a round post (with square conversion welded to the top) that mounts with
a cam lock similar to a bike post so that I can swing the head around when
not in use so that I don't crack my head on it.
No more clever contraptions of ropes and pulleys hanging off of the shed
door for me!!!!
Ride On,
