we have one from Aldi at work - seems to do the job and was pretty cheap

obviously Aldi don't have them in all the time, but might be worth a look/wait

when I googled for the Aldi stand, this thread came up - with alternative ideas

I've got two decent ones 8) and whilst this is occasionally useful, the extra garage space provided by getting rid of one would probably be more useful. Lets talk.

I have a park tool one, but they aren't cheap. Pretty solid though.

The Aldi one is OK with my commuter and road bikes, but it isn't a fan of  holding up my orange bikes unless they remain on the floor

I've got one of these - very sold for the price but not very portable, etc. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/bike-work-station-specific-bike-tool-id_8034462.html
