Given that I don't have a rim trainer or a truing stand I was wondering
if anyone has come up with any interestign solutions on the cheap. I was
thinking of getting imaginitive with an old set of forks and trying to
fashion something around them.

The first wheel I ever built (thinks fondly back to the eighties) was
trued in the bike that it was intended for. I turned the bike upside
down, and taped a piece of chalk to the seat stay. Worked well, if a
little awkward.
