Workstand for my V20c

Holding up the front with a normal stand is easy enough. If you really need the back lifted as well, maybe put a box under the frame? 
For me it's fine to rest the rear on the floor, when I remove the wheel. Could put a towel or any other padding under it. Or use a rope to pull it up from somewhere.
For an easy homebrew you probably just need 2~3 hooks to hang ropes that are tied in the area the bottom bracket, the handlebars and the headrest. Put the hooks into the walls and ceiling or on your existing garage furniture or build a simple wooden frame for that. This will of course not be very rigid, but free to swing around.

I use the Bike Hand repair stand and just leave the rear wheel on the floor. If I need to work on the back end (such as changing rear disc brake pads) then I put the front wheel in a wheel holding stand, remove the rear wheel and put the middle frame area on a padded folding chair.

Where do you clip the bike to hold it up? Having trouble visualizing the setup.

I use the same logic as on upright bikes: That part is made to be clamped, so I do it there. - But it's different kind of clamping, so I don't go tight. It only has to hold half the bike, anyway. And don't lock the rotation, so the rear can swing down freely. Levering the rear into the air from there might be harmful.
(Disclaimer: Not my bike, not my picture, I was too lazy. Otherwise I'd have clamped it for a picture in my first answer.

Image Robert Holler gave me when I asked Cruzbike (and he said not too tight):
Perfect thanks

Using a padded chair to work on only the rear wheel such as brake pad adjustment. The wheel is off the floor and spins free. Could also use a bucket.
