I've mostly been lurking but am enjoying this place tremendously.
Does anyone make the prewar-style of kickstand (like the one above) as an aftermarket item? I like the style but I currently have a fairly modern bike and can't really justify taking a genuine prewar item out of circulation (not to mention the cost of doing so). I love the look but are they impractical? Maybe there is a good reason - beside streamlining - that they fell out of favor.
