Slightly over your budget but pretty good.

I considered the Decathlon model years ago and dismissed it, regardless of its low price.
I bought a Minoura 3000 and have found it to be a real joy.
I would not be without it, or a very similar type ever again.
It was approx £75 in a CRC sale (they do have a sale now and again).

+1 for the ribble one. It appears in a few places under different 'brands' (x-tools on CRC for example).

I got the Ribble one last week.
£55, and I can't imagine how it could be better.
It is super sturdy, and will hold my trance by the seat post no prob.
All the tightening bolts are quick release.
Height adjustable.
Great build quality, and comes fully built.
The picture on Ribble gives no detail, but it is awesome.
Just buy it.

+1 for [url= http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Workstands-Bike-Tool-Aluminium-Workstand/BIKEWORK200000000000 ]Ribble[/url]. I have one and really like it. Very well made and light.

Get some sandbags to put over the legs on the ribble one if doing any serious work on the bike, to make it a bit more stable and capable of holding a bike with one wheel taken off and not wanting to fall over.
