These are exactly the same as the Delta Rothko stands which I paid around £16 for.  £3 delivery or free to reserve and collect at your nearest branch.  Fill your boots, guys... :daumenhoch:

Griff, they're listed on the Bay too if you can't get on to their site and don't mind delivery charge.

cheers, but after the site started working I just bought 4 of them and some cable ties using the cashback site and the discount code
I work pretty much opposite a maplins so quicker to just pop in there  :daumenhoch:

The upright section of the stand is a bit taller than the Delta Rothko stand so they're probably going to catch the freewheel on a 20" wheel.  The back wheel should still go in with a bit of fettling - there'll be no issues with the front wheel if you have to go that way...

I got one a while back and they do catch, but still useful when working on the front end.  :daumenhoch: (could always hit it with a big hammer! :knuppel2:)

 :LolLolLolLol:  Obviously it can be read that way - collection is not an option on the eBay ad and most people would just pay the full £10 without knowing they do a click and reserve option.   ;D

My 2 local stores say they have stock, but when reserved, only have 1 each, I need 3 (minimum) so I splashed £35 on five, delivered.

That'll be 2 more bikes needed to fill them!! result.

just in case you bought any of these stands and haven't assembled them yet!!!!

Of the 4 I bought, 2 of them had something wrong with them  ::)
- one of the bars had a hole either side intended for the other thing to slot through - but the holes were totally mis-aligned making it impossible to put together without re-drilling
- another one has a bit of weld blocking the wheel bolt from going in

was able to swap bits and make 3 good ones out of the 4, will exchange the crap one tomorrow - thought I'd let you know in case you were hoarding them for a bit
and the comments about them being high for 20" rears are correct btw
