Can anyone recommend a quality stand? I'm not looking for crap just don't want to pay a fortune.

I think most of us have pit bull. I guess I should say, some of us have pit bull stands. Fixxer got ours from cyclegear when they were on sale.

Checking out their site I believe you are right. Looks like they have a lot of quality stuff for a good price.

We got our pitbull stands when they were on sale... I am unsure as to why cyclegear had them on sale for the price they had them at (I think they were like $60 each..I could be wrong and I probably am wrong) but Fixxer couldn't resist. I do know we also bought wheel chokes for the bikes too (they are not pit bull). :D

I have T Rex and they have done great over the last 5 years or so. Good product.... however if I found some pitbull on sale I would get them.

Yeah... I used to have pit bulls but sold them after the zx10 went away... They're maybe a tad bit nicer, but for the (regular) price difference, I think I'll stick with trex

I got those Trackside stands from Cycle Gear when they were on sale for like $30+ and seem to work fine. The rear works great but always have trouble figuring out the front one. I'm sure they are not as nice as the Pitbulll ones but they do serve the purpose .

Have a Pitbull rear only because that's all the local place sold when I really needed it. Have an Ebay special front tree stand that I paid like $60 bucks for and it works great. Came with a whole bunch of pin sizes too.

A little off topic what do you'll think of these frame sliders?
