hello,

read all the archived messages on workstands i could find. i've
narrowed down to probably a tacx or park pcs 1 or pcs 4.

can i buy a tacx mailorder in the usa? or can my LBS get one for me?
what should i expect to pay?

then, can tacx "spider team 3075" stand users and "cycle motion 3175"
users convince me to get one of these over a park pcs 1 or pcs 4? re
the two tacx stands, which is better?

also, for the tacx stands, does the supporting bracket at the BB
interfere with any cables that may run down the downtube and even
under the bb shell?

i used to own a park professional race stand, and liked it a lot but
had to part with it... but the tacx looks more stable and less bulky.
apparently tacx are the stands of choice in the uk?

email or post as appropriate,
thanks,
james
