I'm inspired to take a stand as well, Leah. I've always worked on my bikes "Pasadena style" and I hate it because everything's flipped backwards, I have a tendency to drop tools (and one of them took a healthy chip out of the paint on the underside of my top tube/head tube lug), and it's hard to test shifting with inboard thumbies when the bike is upside down, and sitting on the ground to work on my bike KILLS my back. I haven't done a deep clean/lube on my drivetrain yet...and I"m just dreading doing it with the bike upside down. I've been tempted to take the Atlantis to a bike shop to have them do a full tune up when winter is over here. I'm thinking you have inspired me to take that money and put it towards a stand instead.

Yes, that's true - I have a problem lifting bikes like that, too. If I'm working on one of my road bikes it's not as much of an issue because I clamp around the top tube and all I have to do is lift the bike up onto the clamp. But if I'm doing maintenance on the dual-boinger Trek MTB literally the only place it can be clamped is around the seat post. I have a Park PCS-4 work stand so I can easily lift the upper part of it out of the lower support, which enables me to place the clamp around the seat post and adjust it to the right amount of tension. Then, I put it back, swivel the clamp around so it's pointed down at an angle where I'm lifting the bike up with the front wheel still on the ground in order to clamp the post. Having done that, I can lift the front of the bike with one hand and swivel it back toward level and tighten the swivel clamp with the other. It's still a PITA, though, compared to clamping around the top tube.
