Kickstands
July 29, 2010
Eliza needs a kickstand badly!! I having to find a wall to prop her up against and when Pashley arrives it will make it harder to arrange the bikes in the bedroom.
I was going to try and do something like Deborah from Loop-Frame Love did here but the mounting plate wont work with Eliza because of her rod brakes.
Soooo if anyone has any ideas I’d really appreciate it …I’d love a double kickstand but at this point I’ll entertain any ideas
Much Love& Happy Riding!

If you contact Jon Gehman at Red Barn Bicycle Accessories (http://redbarnbike.blogspot.com), I am sure he can make one for you.
Your only other hope is finding an original one, which would be tough.
Thanks Velouria!!:) I’ll contact Jon soon and see what he may be able to do for me:)

Is there anyways I could get some close up shots of the kickstand on your DL-1?? This may make it easier for me to try and figure out something.
TIA:)
Sorry, I didn’t see this till now. Sure, I will try to get some shots.
Thanks Velouria:)
I will see if I can get you a picture of the one on mine. It is either an Esge or Greenfield, standard single leg aluminum kickstand.

Here is a picture to the kickstand mounted on my DL-1. It is a Greenfield (made in the USA) It is a bit on the short side, but I plan to add a rubber foot to the end of it which will make it bit taller. I have seen racks with the full rear wheel stand (think Dutch style) on a DL-1 somewhere, but cannot remember where I saw it.

Thanks for the photo Aaron!! Visuals always work so much better for me:)
I will check and see if there is clearance for the double legged Esge stand. I have one on another bike, but have no clue if it will fit or not. I doubt it, but I have been wrong before…once

Have you seen this double kickstand from Velo Orange? I’d LOVE to see if that would work too..Knowing my luck it will work on my Pashley when I get it but not the DL-1

I have someone from Boston that is able to make me something that will work with the Raleigh ..He is the person that made the rear rack for Velouria’s DL-1 from Lovely Bicycle.
My DL-1 has a standard kick stand on it, and someone shaved down the plate to accommodate the rods. A DIY solution to be sure, but a cheap one. those kick stands are everywhere. I can take a picture if you are interested in this solution.
Amanda~That would be awesome and thanks…I’m still entertaining ideas right now as I’m trying now to rush into anything w/out thinking it through completely
