Again I say - are you not suppossed to be clamping the seatpost?
Can you not just turn the 360 deg clamp 90 deg so that it's vertical?

well looking at the pic there is not enough seat tube to clamp and I doubt that frame has any fancy butting!
But yes, obviously you just rotate the clamp and clamp the seat post.
Sometimes for a light job it is easier to keep the clamp horizontal and just place the bike well balanced and then lower the clamp gently to stop it falling off. No heavy clamping needed.

My friend bought one last year, and says though great value, the clamp won't stay rotated when trying to clamp the seatpost once a bike is loaded onto it. Minor modification may well resolve this though.

Tell your friend to have a look on page 1 of this thread for my post regarding clothed back sand paper (the flexable stuff from B and Q) between the plastic parts and the stand. And kayak23 post on what he did to prevent rotation of the clamp.
hope these work for for your friend.
Picked one up this morning £30 and it actually holds my bike without falling over. More than happy.
I am tempted to cut mine down a bit to make it pack up smaller. Could loose a good 10" off the tubes and still be a decent height. Especially as you don't need the legs all the way out - it is a lot more stable than it looks in the pics.
I picked one up today
Well chuffed holds my 456 up a beaut
