Want something small to pop in the back of the van. Sure there was a neat design by a small one man band business/designer I'd like to buy from if possible (may have even be covered by stw). Can anyone help with that or an alternative please?

Thanks

I haven't got one but Andy tried to flog me one out of the back of his van at Gisburn a few years back. Seemed good.

IIRC Andy was an electrician. Easy to see where he got his inspiration from

Ah yeah that's him. Hmm might need it for non hollow bb, so that one from Wiggle looks good. Thanks.

Got a Feedback one from Halfords recently. Really well made, stable and folds flat.

By a long way these are the best portable stands around.

I'm looking to build up a wee little camper van, saw somebody with one of these recently which I think I'll install, but it means drilling a few holes somewhere... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005GA7SQS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=29YWX8WY86GL7&coliid=I3BRYYMT0XJLO6
any good?

Topeak used to do a proper workstand that fitted to a receptacle on your tow bar which I thought was pretty neat. Could bodge a cheap lidl one or the PVC diy ines if you prefer that kind of thing.

I've got a Minoura which works well, and the Wiggle one above looks like the same thing but even cheaper
