Thanks for resurrecting the Rhode Gear thread, the Flickstand and their unique water bottle mount always struck me as good design practice and thinking about what works best simply (we called this simple elegance in engineering circles here.) I remember picking up our two Motobecane Jubilee Sports in 1981 from the LBS, we got Flick Stands and water bottle set ups along with Avocet's anatomic seats when we paid for them. Too bad that Rhode Gear isn't still on their own and in business, losing a principal always seems to be the end of companies like they were.
