Hmm. Interesting product. I could probably make one with an old tent pole
and a hook thingie, though...

Solid enough idea if you can't fit a good 2-legged Esge, Greenfield,
or Pletscher stand by the BB.

ISTM it might be more stable than any kickstand if used with a heavily
loaded bike. Not as convienient, though.

I have a couple, including one intended for "oversized" downtubes,
which were rare then, but common now. They don't work on a fendered
bike, so not so useful for a touring bike.

Probably could, but the price for the product seems pretty reasonable,
so is that worth the candle?

Woo hoo! 75 more grams!

Seriously every similar product has had its own adherents so he'll
probably find a market. We even get calls for flick stands lo these many
years later.

Almost every bike can lean on a pole or corner in the concave side of
the saddle. When backpedalled until a pedal is against the other side of
the pole/corner, a bike is stable. This is quicker than it sounds.

If one should find oneself touring across Afghanistan, the strut
referenced may be a useful recourse for a vertical pause on your ride,
assuming one is needed and neither poles nor building corners are handy.

It may interest the reader to know that in an LBS there are as many
gadget aficionados looking for 75g tchotchkes as there are manic weight
reducers willing to pay a few hundred dollars to remove 75g.

great for ragbrai, where I am always looking for a place to lean the
bike, fully loaded. Those front panniers make the handlebars want to
move.

I don't believe the photo, there's a problem. What keeps the front
wheel from flopping to the low side (the bicycle is leaning), and then
roll backward and off the strut? When a bicycle is leaned against a
street sign post at the saddle, it tilts the front wheel, rolls back
and falls to the ground. I think this usually will do the same.

I guess you didn't see the other photos where the front wheel is clearly
tilting.
