The pins that are on the stand are pretty cheap if I remember correctly (in the 10-15 dollar range). As I said, on the surface its by no means new looking, but it will do the job. I have always used pitbull stands and would never trust my bike on something else. They are top notch stands. Im sure you know that though.
