Could try Amazon, I saw one on there a while back before I got mine (from the official site in the end).

I think you're going to have to wait :-(

BTW, the Wheelstand Pro is excellent, you won't be disappointed.

WSP is ace. Very nice piece of kit, set-up was a doddle with my GT pro.

Extend the legs, adjust the height for the wheel, adjust angle of wheel and you're done.

Pedals are attached with this metal brace and bolt system (it looks tidy).

Wheel is attached with two clamps, I think wheels like the G27 have different fixings (bolts?)

When you're finished racing there's just one quick release and it almost folds in half so you can stow it.

(It has two quick release catches, one for height, and one for folding/stowing, the rest are standard nuts and bolts, I think it even came with the necessary tools).

I put on a few cable ties to stop all the loose cables as I kept getting caught in them.

It is very sturdy, and after the first tightening I have never had to re-tighten anything, even the quick release catches don't budge.

If I had to think of a put down it would be that it can be a tad top heavy when you're giving it beans, as in, you pull the wheel towards you (I don't know why I do this!) and you can lift the unit slightly... so the whole unit slides. I have laminate floors though and cat hairs which mean no friction between the rubber legs and the floor, give the floor a quick wipe beforehand and this minimises the issue greatly. You won't notice it at all if you have carpet... Or don't drive like a monger, like me :-)
