[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 108619, member: 302"] I have always been a little perplexed by the rear stand on the post war B+C bikes, the shear genius of the two Phill's got so much right whilst also being innovative, but the rear stand, well where do you start, although still in situ I stopped using mine years ago, especially when Craven panniers became pretty much a permanent fitment. I briefly had the use of the club A single Nigel last year, and it brought all those horrors back to me, bloody backbreaking, and when you look at the stand that Dave Hills supplies, it is so simple and effective, as long as you get the correct length stand legs in the first place. I just wonder why it was never fitted as standard in the first place, I cannot imagine that the design of the DH stand was beyond their combined capabilities. If you still haven't got one fitted, get one, it changes your life and saves your vertebrae. [/QUOTE]
