I have seen a few shots on the forum, of a stand like gadget, to suppoprt a frame or bicycle off the ground to work on it.
Are these proprietory items or something people have cobbled together???

Lidl or Aldi do them every so often.

Thanks, that ceratainly looks very similar to what I have seen on the forum.
Are they any good, or if not, what would the recommendation be?

I have one of these

and find it totally invaluable. I was never able to properly work on bikes when they were on the ground and now i fettle almost every weekend...means all the bikes runs smooth and true.Mine has a QR clamp onn the business end.

I also have a bench mounted one for working at a seated level.

Cost me about £30 on amazon.

search workshop stands...or cycle stands

Also used for cleaning duties , not just fettling

Me too, about the same price on eBay.
Great for every little job, including cleaning!

I've a £5 bike lift winch but that only works if you've a suitable ceiling for one.

Hi mjray,
Thanks for the offer, but sadly no suitable ceiling

[mjr]

No worries. Wasn't an offer. Was just saying what's out there!

I have 2 types one like everyone above and a similar clamp but attached to the wall

 

[Traighbum]

Thanks to everyone who chipped in.
Which make and model is the preferred choice.
On E-Bay and Amazon, they seem to range from around £30 upwards
