nws stands no longer available?
 
Just phoned what i thought was nws from their website about to order up a stand however. Turns out it was pyramid plastics, and was told that the guy making the NWS stands has retired so they dont have them available. The guy said he was looking into the stands but couldnt tell me anything as of yet.Looks like this means will have to go for the abba one then. Just thought would give you that info.

The NWS name had been taken over by Pyramid a few years ago now, they bought the plastics side of the business. Later on the engineering side of NWS went bust and it all shut down, one engineer bought the rights to the NWS stand and started to manufacturer them himself using a website called bike-stands.co.uk (I think). Unfortunately things didn't go to plan and he has ceased trading, Pyramid bought out the remaining stock and sold them on Ebay.

They pop up every now and again on Ebay, but sometimes you have to wait for a while which doesn't fit in to you maintenance plan.

Such is the way of the world... NWS stands will probably be worth more now that you can't get them.
