Stuart,
I have a bike lift. I bit the bullet several years ago and bought a top of
the line unit, which I have never regretted. It is manufactured by Western
Manufacturing Corporation in Marshalltown, Iowa -- 1-800-247-7594. I think
I spent close to $900 US (gulp!). It is an electric lift (I did not have a
compressor in my garage for the faster air lift). It is a 2131 series. I
cannot remember if it came with, or I also ordered the CV-16 Cycle Vise to
secure the front wheel. I also have mine equipped with extension panels
on each side so I can place my feet down when riding the bike onto the lift.
I also have the ramp. This thing is invaluable for working on my bikes---
no more bending down to look up and under. Oil changes are a breeze, so
are removing wheels, working on brakes--- anything you can imagine.
A couple of notes: This thing is solid metal and weights several hundred
pounds. As a result UPS is not going to drop it at your door. Western
Manufacturing sent it to a local shipping yard in Denver, and I had to go
and pick it up in my pick up. Assembly is a snap (its just a matter of a
few bolts for the Vise, and slipping in the extension panel pipes).
I don't have other lifts to compare against, but this thing is
indestructible. I will have it the rest of my ridin' days.
Hope that helps.
