When comparing prices, consider the following:

Prices vary according to the "finish"
Delivery charges vary
Prices quoted by suppliers are for basic galvanised stands, and will exclude delivery charges and VAT.

At first "butterfly" stands may seem cheaper at around £25 (1998) each.
But compare prices (excluding VAT) at Ridgeons in Cambridge:

Parking for TWO bicycles = 2 "unfinished" butterfly stands @ £25.40.
TOTAL = £50.80

Parking for TWO bicycles = 1 galvanised and black plastic coated Sheffield Stand @ £59.00.
TOTAL = £59.00

However the labour costs for installing Sheffield Stands in concrete might be higher. (We will be seeking building quotes from a number of local tradespeople).
