I have a Plescher.

I wouldn't consider it light.

It definitely doesn't get in the way of the pedals when open, I can spin the rear wheel with the weight on the front tire but this may depend on the bike. My frame is a Surly XC 54.

It is very sturdy, definitely isn't wobbly, but by design a two-legger can't have all of the weight on one side.

The finish on mine looks great after about 3000 miles (no corrosion yet, I've oiled it once or twice). It's pretty new still so I can't give a long term review of the finish.

It comes with plastic tips so it doesn't damage the floor. I don't know what "thread strips quickly" means, but the bolt that came with mine is holding up.

I can't speak to customer service, never needed it.

Do they make more than one two-legger? It sounds like your review is for a different product than I have.
