I am sure you are aware, but that is not a bike rack...Its a trueing stand.
Nice one too, the older Park stuff is well made.

SURE I know what it is...I have been using the old park truing stand for a long time...and yes it is made well ..but I think it's time to have one with a little Bling...The new Ts2 is built just as well..and I have a Dial indicator that will mount the same way..So I put the old one on C/L today .. :wink:

jay, maybe you should offer to sell the bike rack for her, so that someone doesn't take advanage of her. You know give her $5 for a $45 rack. You know what I'm saying. Help her out for being so nice to you.

I take care of her swimming pool ..and I give her a real good price and I have helped her out with some dump runs..I dont feel guilty she wanted someone who would put it to use..I explained what it was used for..I all so told her I have one but her's was better...So when I will use it I have a little story behind it..I all so helped her price out some stuff for her to sell..

The Park Tool Professional Truing Stand is the stand to choose for heavy shop use. Accepts wheels from 16" to 28" with or without tire removed. Both axle-holding uprights move simultaneously, always centering wheel hub with calipers, regardless of hub width. Calipers and caliper arm are spring-loaded to prevent jamming with badly out-of-true wheels. Made of heavy chrome plated steel with nylon bushings at pivot points. Can be bench-mounted or vise-held. The standard of the industry. For precision work, the TS-2 should be used with the WAG-1 Professional Wheel Alignment Gauge. Opens up to accept hubs 150mm wide.

No worries...I could have had a ton of high end road bikes and gear for cheap...But I would never do that ..I told here what the stuff should sell for and some she put on Ebay...The rack I told her I cold put it on CL for her..She still has a few things left a Vitus 979 Aluminum frame road bike less wheels..I have the same bike..I might work it off her bill...?
