I know it is over $100, but my favorite truing stand in the sub-$200 range is the Bikehand truing stand.
Was also looking at this seems to be TS-2 clone (kinda)
Though Im in no rush, I will camp ebay for a good deal on a real one.
I have this Bikehand truing stand which is pretty much a TS-2.2 clone from what I gather, so I think that will work.
Thanks for the tips, I'll do some more micro-adjusting to try and get it right... or I might just de-tension re-tension completely because the rim has a bit of a hop as well. Good learning experience I suppose!
No personal experience with it, but the Bikehand stand is a near-clone of the TS 2.2 at a pretty reasonable price: http://www.amazon.com/BIKEHAND-Wheel-Truing-Bicycle-Maintenance/dp/B00CW90ZKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394539358&sr=8-1&keywords=bikehand+truing+stand
Here is my work bench. At this point, I can build and tear down bikes. I just replace a headset yesterday, and I have all the tools, for example. So, it's probably overkill for most other people. There are a few things I cannot do, and it's because the tools are too exotic, like BB86 press fit bearing remover, threading the threaded fork, etc.
I also have Nashbar's crown race installer, remover, headset cup press and remover, and steering tube cutting guide. Head set cup press is rather expensive so unless you are going to service the headset multiple times, it's better to use LBS or bike coop.
