Hi Leah: I have used the Minoura RS-5000 for years. Similar to the Park, but includes a tray that is handy to put tolls and especially small bits you remove and need to re install. The head rotates to clamp a top tube or seat post. When working on a bike like a Clem L, a TT carry bar is very handy. That way, you don't have to un do saddle bags or pull out the seat post. I also have a little bar that goes in the clamp and lets me hang the bike by the saddle, which is very quick and easy for simple things. There is a less expensive saddle only stand too.
