HaHa! I'd be happily content to be a mere "guy who assembles stuff" in this case if I could find the right parts to assemble! I've pulled several rear-mount kickstands off old mountain/commuter bikes in my lair, only to find their configuration isn't very well suited to the fatter tubes. I've also purchased stands the LBS says will work, but one weighed more than the bike (and still didn't fit) and another worked on the theory that if you squeeze a tube hard enough between two flat sheets of steel, it will probably hold (for awhile) so long as you don't tighten it so much that you flatten the tubes. On-line shopping, of course, offers EVERYTHING. I was hoping one of the gurus on Bike Forum might know a particular kick stand that readily (and out-of-the-box for us "assemblers") fits older Cannondale touring bike frames. That would make ordering on-line smoother. Of course, I could consider the workaround of leaning the bike up against a tree.
