I believe that this would be to create a crossbar for bikes without to aid clamping for servicing purposes and allow supporting from closer to the centre of gravity with a stand.

The link did work last week, it would seem that they have sold out and removed it from stock and searches!
I got mine from Amazon for a tad under £30

That looks just like the one that TinKitten linked to on Oypla at a very similar price!

Hi John,
Yes that is correct, they are normally used for transporting stepthru frame bikes on a car rack.
JamesW is right they seem to have sold out as
it's unavailable on Amazon too.

The other stand you have found looks very similar so I expect it would do the job just as well.

I ordered one of those stands direct from Oypla last week.Looks like they are all gone now as well.
Well Christmas is coming and what do most of us want.. (apart from a newer, better, faster, lighter bike!) - stuff for the bike to play with!
Oypla stand came today and is excellent,really heavy duty and the adjusting knobs in the pics have been replaced with quick release clamps which work well.
Next job is to clean my stable out so I have room to actually use it!

I second all the positive comments for the Oypla stand in this thread. I thought it was worth a go for £30 and it really is of solid build quality.
My only frustration was the Oypla website itself, which was one of the worst user experiences I've had for a while. I emailed their Customer Services team to see if they'd be interested in a bug list, but have had no reply.

I'm another that likes to suspend their bike. 
Putting casters onto the legs of an old table also makes for a very handy workshop addition.
The handlebar clamp as shown below, was definitely worth buying.

I had a similarly bad experience with their website which wouldn't let me change the delivery address. I too emailed the customer services dept and I did get a reply thanking me for my trouble. They obviously need to pay someone to code their shopping cart better as your experience shows they haven't sorted it yet.
Yep, that was one of the problems - really fiddly. There is a way to edit it, but I think you have to do it from a different page (took me about half an hour to figure out the hack!). There was also mangled buttons that didn't do anything, links that went to the wrong T&C page...
Oh yeah, now I remember that bug too as I am a stickler for reading T&Cs. It's a good job their stands are made better than their website!Yep, that was one of the problems - really fiddly.
