I finally broke down today and ordered a workstand for my bikes. I’d wanted to get a tool box full of bike tools as well, but I didn’t quite have the cash to make it happen. Indeed, I had no cash at all. This particular purchase is being funded from the sale of my iPhone 2G.
I tried a service called NextWorth.com. They make selling unused gadgets pretty darn painless. I can’t remember which major blog I’d read about them on, but suffice to say, there was one. While I suppose I might have been able to get more for my old iPhone, this was painless; right down to “free” mailing.
Anyway, I choose to be payed for my old phone in a credit for Amazon. That’s why I can finally get my stand. And that workstand is the Park Tools PCS-10.
I’ve also got the Park Tools Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair – 2nd Ed. and a handlebar holder to keep the front end straight while working…
I’m using the free Super Saver Shipping so it’ll be a while!
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
