Work stand for tandem?

Any suggestions for a good work stand for a tandem as well as singles?
I like the PRS-20 drop out clamp design but don't see how it would
safely support a tandem.

Perhaps something like the Nashbar "Stand by Me" that just raises the
rear wheel a bit would be handy. Worth a shot for $10 and it's
portable. You'll want a rolling shop stool or old desk chair to use
with it at home.

I use two eyebolts screwed into my garage ceiling about 6 metres apart. A
rope from one loops around the stokers saddle and a rope from the other
around the front handlebar stem, so that both ropes are at about 54 degrees
to the vertical. Total cost under $10.

Since you didn't mention money, the Park pro stands are the best...and
the most expensive.

Would a portable stand be stable enough to hold a tandem?

probably, as long as the front wheel stayed on the floor.

I just use a regular Park PRS-1 with my tandem. The heavy (~60#) base
plate seems to hold it fine. Other wise a bench or floor mounted stand
ought to work even better.
