[QUOTE=terraskye;9549733) Hubby's bike didn't initially come with one but he had one put on when we bought it...it works good but IMO is FUGLY lol[/QUOTE]

Specialized makes a slick kickstand specifically for Crosstrails. Mounts to the chainstay in those two bolt holes that look like they serve no real purpose.

They can rattle when going over bumpy stuff.

Bikes: Brand new Cannondale Roadwarrior 3

my first bike back in "85 had a kickstand then the 3 bikes I bought the next 3 years didn't.At the time I thought it was the cool thing to do,to not have a kick stand. Then last year when I finally got a hybrid it had a kickstand and I really appreciated it.I went and put one on my remaining bike that I bought back in the '80's
I doubt I'll be without one in the future.Besides the parking being easier,it saves the paint finish or a broken mirror from falling over because of a hasty park job
