Anyone have a wall mounted bike repair stand/arm they like?

My newly decked out bike room is lacking in floor space, but well equipped in solid concrete walls reinforced with rebar. Prime location for a wall mounted bike repair stand. Anyone have an experience with a particular model they like? Low budget is king here as all my money goes into keeping my 110 year old house from being reclaimed by the earth.

If I had to buy any arm for any reason, the Feedback Sports are really nice. The "Pro" model is insane.

They are often on sale, and have discounts for certified coaches.

They don't seem to have a wall mount model.

Seen these? Pricey but hey, some of us have bikes that makes this look like chump change. May fit the bill for you, and it's portable...

Standard Park bench / wall mount is solid. I have that mounted to a 4x4 in my basement.

I have one that I purchased from Jensonusa.com. It is their house brand, IIRC, Foundation. It is pretty handy, definitely solid. I use it mostly for basic maintenance/cleaning and switching wheels, tires, and tubes. The thing I am not crazy about with wall mount is the lack of rotation, and there is not much space to work with between the bike and the wall.

I have the Park PRS-4W-2. It is fantastic. I wish I had bought it sooner, as I often work on some heavy bikes that are slightly unstable on a portable stand.

I have Park Tool model PRS-4W-2. It’s solid and has served me well for many years. Built several bikes on it as well as normal maintenance & repairs of my bikes and others. My only frustration would be the same as DeBike…… there is little to no room between a mounted bike and the wall. If you can deal with flipping the bike around while wrenching it’s an option that will do the job. Good luck with your search and the house.

Jump bumping this back up.
I just built a 2x4 shelf in the garage and was looking into a wall mount repair stand.

I was debating between the Jensonusa Foundations and a Park Tools PRS-4W1.
Pretty big price gap between the two.

Wondering if there are any others worth consisting, especially if it is cheaper than the Park Tools.

Life is too short to own cheap tools. Seriously...

It's what I use too. Couldn't be happier. Modified it with a few stainless tubes.

Thanks for the replies so far. I should have posted a picture but I basically have a doorway in my basement bike area. I'd love something that could maybe swivel to make it easier to go through the doorway while the bike is mounted and totally swivel out of the way when not in use. Maybe I can get creative with something on a pole... see photo.
