I "was told that this is a special Masi repair stand" (see pictures) but I don't know why it wouldn't work on any vintage bike! (wink wink.) This is my personal stand that is being replaced with a new one under a sponsorship agreement .. It has served me faithfully in race and tour support for two years. Still in great shape too. The clamping action of these is really awesome, very much superior (in my opinion) to anything else out there...And this stand is anodized red; sadly they are going to be boring black from now on...
New ones retail around $250.00-ish, mail order price with cordura nylon carry bag is $199.00. Pictures here:

The CR fraternity/sorority price = $95.00 including shipping CONUSA. Payment by credit card OK too by calling the shop But the soonest to arrive e-mail to arrive secures it......
Here is a hyperbolic but more or less true description I took from a sleaze bag mail order place's web site...
<< The Pro Bicycle Repair Stand established a new world-class level of quality, precision, and innovation for the bicycle industry when it was introduced a few years ago. Now the tripod has been redesigned to give you greater strength and structural durability. The new red anodized color also makes it stand out in a crowd.
The Pro-BRS was the first full-function, quality bike repair stand that\u2018s not only lightweight, it also folds up compact and can be stored in a nylon tote bag for convenience and portability. Its strong, stable tripod base gives you solid three-point contact in the garage or on rough ground, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor use.
Made of heat-treated 6000 series, anodized aluminum, the Pro-BRS is light as a feather, weighing in at just 12 lbs./5.44 kg. Its clamp height extends from 42\u201d/1070 mm to 72\u201d/1830 mm via a quick release lever. And as an added plus, the attractive Pro-BRS can double as a display/storage stand for your bike.
The unique torque-amplifying clutch provides positive positioning of the bike through full 360° rotation. The clutch torque is set by a large, comfortable hand-knob allowing the clamp to rotate on a custom molded, nylatron\u2122 bearing (a space-age plastic with an impregnated lubricant). Once set, the bike can be repeatedly repositioned without further adjustment of the hand-knob.
The unequaled clamp mechanism was engineered from the ground up to overcome the drawbacks of other designs. The lever-less design fits into tight areas, gives the operator infinite control over clamping force (no more crimped tubes!), and instantly adjusts to fit any diameter bicycle tubing. The Slide-Lock\u2122 Clamp opens with a quarter turn of the knob, slides shut to meet the tube, and gently clamps the tube with a simple turn of the knob.
