I have a couple of neat wooden stands that my father made for me back in the early 80's. They remind me of something from the GP circuit back in 1980 or '81 - propping up a works Maico or something. I think they have a retro cool look, especially with the patina of age and use.

Another simple stand I use is one made from simple square tubing. It is a metal square that sits under the bike's frame near the footpegs with a tube welded perpendicular to that square frame. The end of that long tube has a short leg perpendicular to that that sits on the ground near the rear axle of the bike. You simply rock the stand back with the long tube and it levers the bike up and back. Great for keeping bikes vertical to take up less space in the shop, and for some quick maintenance, it works fine.

I'll try to snap some pictures.
