>>>Pletscher/ESGE double legged<<<<

Looks like a good design for a loaded touring bike, but $42 seems like a lot for a kickstand. Or am I just dating myself?

Anyway, I tour with a single pannier on the left side, opposite the derrailleur. My single kickstand balances the bike pretty well...except for when it DOESN'T and the whole bike - with all my stuff - goes toppling over in front of an amused audience. I've had my eye on a double for a while, but haven't done anything about it yet.
