That's the Bikehand - here at £69.99 http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Bike-Hand-F..._medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=Froogle02
I have one - a doddle to use on all three bikes and folds up like a tripod.
Couldn't be without it.

I have the same one. Very sturdy, although the middle bracket sometimes pops out upon rebuilding it.

I got the same one in November, very happy with it.
Just looking now they are £90

Potsy, don't clamp it to the frame - clamp it to the seat tube. It's a stronger point of contact and you'll be less bothered if you damage it.

+1. Although he'll need to move the bracket for his rear Smart light. (Don't ask me how I know )

Cheers, I only clamp it there because of the light bracket like norm said, didn't think it would do any harm
Since I have 2 other places to mount the rear lights I will remove it and use the post

It shouldn't do harm there, Potsy, but there is a chance (the size of the risk depends on how much of an ape you are with the clamp!) that it might. It's easier to repair a seat post than a top tube.

[QUOTE 1774480, member: 45"]It's the same one that Ribble do for £55.[/quote]

Which is where I bought mine from.
