I am looking for a good bike stand that will hold the wheels of the ground for maintenance and be able to hold the bike upside down for cleaning. I would like a good quality one but that doesn't mean i want to pay the earth.
What do you recommend ?

be able to hold the bike upside down for cleaning.
Why not? At the moment i am scuffing the seat and bars by turning the bike upside down on my gravel drive.
not sure I've ever seen a bike stand that will hold a bike upside down securely
you could always just use a towel to stop the scratching!
Some cracking deals at Ribble, I bought one for around £50 last year and wondering how I managed without one before [url= http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/mtb-bmx-bike/Workstands/WORK ]Linky[/url]
Some of those stands at Ribble look good, cheers.
If the stand has a rotating tube clamp i don't see why it wouldn't be possible to attach it to the down tube holding the bike upside down.
I've got the boss 1200 one (under a different name) it's a good dependable secure stand and your bike can be positioned upside down safely.
If you get a half decent one, you can raise it over a couple of feet off the ground so you wouldn't need to turn it upside down.
I have the Park Tools PCS10, the clamp is very good and rotates.

This looks like a good stand, It looks identical to the Park tools stand.
