Looking for a cheap bike bike/work stand. Any recommendations? Are these any good. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HOME-MECHANIC-FOLDING-BIKE-CYCLE-REPAIR-STAND_W0QQitemZ150410764135QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Spots_Leisure_Cycling_Tools_RepairKits?hash=item23052e1f67#ht_660wt_937 . Didn't realise that link was so long!
decathelon do one for £50. i've got one and it's brilliant - really sturdy and good clamping system. it's not very lightweight and you have to dismantle to carry (i.e. it doesn't fold). it doesn't appear to be on their website though...
the one you have linked to will cause problems when you set up your gears.

was more of a bargain when it was closer to fifty quid (bizarrely just before Xmas) but gets good reviews and I am impressed with mine.
Merlin have a VERY similar looking one (as in it appears identical) also well reviewed for 60 quid
