Elite Spindoctor Bicycle Workstand

I was so fed up of my bike falling down when trying to fix it that I bought this work stand. The price now is excellent. Ends Midnight Monday £58.72 plus free shipping.

Hi states holds bike by forks or rear dropouts, do you know if this stand will allow clamping on top tube or seat post. I have asked wiggle but time on this offer is short so any extra info would help.
Thanks

Hi mickyduck this is what it says at the bottom of the page
About Workstands

A bicycle workstand is a great investment, they hold your bike securely leaving both hands free to work. They hold the bike in the air and can usually be adjusted in height and angle, this means you can reach those awkward parts and rotate the wheels, cranks and adjust gears and brakes at will. Most workstands have a 'jaw' which clamps around the bike, we suggest clamping at the seatpost as this is usually a thicker material than the frame and less prone to damage. We also list a range of wheel jigs within this section. Wheel jigs are used for holding the wheel while being 'trued up', these are exceedingly handy as they feature guides to help you remove both sideways and up and down buckles. Both types of workstand will usually fold away for easy storage, or you can even take them to a race to help set your bike up.
Hope this helps

Hi Thanks I read that but it says "most" so will have to wait for wiggle as they do not quote a number on their site. Have you got one of these?

I found this review on bike magic he says "Weaknesses:
Can only be used on the crossbar or seat tube"

Thanks for the link but this new one must be updated as it has the fork / dropouts skewer (in the picture)
Thanks again
