Hi Patrick,
The stand I have goes no smaller than 53.5 inches. In fact, because of
how the legs slide up and down, it's ALWAYS 53.5 inches.
Sounds like that Topeak stand is a good solution for you!

I'll check the height of my stand but I think it's too tall for you.
My only concern with the Topeak stand is that you'll be working on the
ground all the time. That's why I got my stand - the older I get, the
more difficult it is to pop up off the floor/ground. But it's really
clever, and if
m all the time.
And while that stand that I linked to is long, it does break down
flat. I've carried longer things on my bike, but I can see that it
might not be great for you.

I bought this bike stand from a seller named CyclingForLess via Amazon
for just less that $50:

The tool tray doesn't sit straight, but other than that, I've used it
regularly in my basement for 4 1/2 years without problems.

That's awesome! I love that label design, too - so out there!

Thanks, Tom. I'm wasting some of the utility of that particular rack
with that setup (the mousetrap basically), but if I can make it a
quick on/off while making it still appear solidly "on" for would-be
metal scrappers, then it's a winner. I have a rear light attached to
it, pump, and pannier
Here's my Clem with newly-taped-and-shellaced Chocomoose bars and my
"new" Sack and "new" B17 from list members (thanks!). I improvised a
way to attach an old Wald basket I have to my Pletscher rack because I
couldn't find my zip ties at the moment and I wanted to go out with my
new sack.
OK, apologies for tangentially-related anecdotes, but I want to name
two other companies that come close in terms of customer service and
general stand-behind-it-ness: Domke and Xtracycle.
Domke makes various camera bags here in the US. Their classics are

Nice! I like the high contrast look. What lens/camera/film/developer?

I'm sorry, what is "too many bags?" I'm not familiar with this concept.

Great point on the accessories, William. My Tern/Xtracycle Cargo Node
came with the Tern Kanga rack on the front which is extremely useful. I also
keep a "Captain Hook" elastic net on the back so I can tie something
down to the back deck if I'm not hauling my kid to a soccer game. The
