I got this one from Park tools. It has turned out to be the best accessory for my bike.

I got everything through my LBS, My LBS was able to order the stand and large tube clamp as a single
unit. IIRC, the price was less than the Standard Stand ($199) plus the 100_5X Clamp.

well, I built one of these, beefing it up with 1" pvc rather than the recommended 3/4" and it still
drooped like a cooked noodle under the V2's weight. nice design, though.
I also tried one of these about ayear ago and experimented with different tube sizes and cements and
it was a failure. The joints would not hold under the levered stress of the bike weight. Now I hang
with two ropes and some karibeeners (sp) and all is well.
