What brands of repair stands are sturdy? I'm considering getting a repair stand, used if I can find one. Aside from the obvious (Park Tool stands), which ones are well-made? I'd like to try and snag a good one on an eBay auction if I can for very little money, but I don't want to waste my time with a piece of junk that will fall apart on me.
I have a Velomann V2500.  They are made in Italy.  The stand is great overall.  Very stable.  

My only complaint is that the clamp is a little bit fussy.  Getting the bike into the stand is a bit of a pain.  (Once it is in no problems though).  If you where working on 20 bikes/day this would cost you endless annoyance however if it is just for your personal use I would defiantly say get it.  

I think that a Parks Tools Stand would definatly be better quality but I only paid $109 (Canadian) for this stand.  

In Canada you can buy it from MEC (they will ship internationally but it is probably cheaper to order it from somewhere else).
