Long time. Still got the tan lines, but not the fitness. Hard to find time with Heather's desire to always be out doing stuff with her friends, as that means I'm taking care of the kids.

The ultra cheap variety. The bottom bracket sits on a cradle, and there is a screw clamp that holds the down tube against the stand's frame. Stays nice and secure, with good clearance for the pedals and wheels. And it nice and high, which is nice for me, being 6' 5" an all. It’s a Performance/Spin Doctor stand. The ultra cheap variety.
