    crumpled kickstand

    The stock kickstand on my (lightly loaded) Q559 folded like a noodle. I bent it back into shape, but it obviously wasn't strong enough to start with, & is weaker now. I've been swinging the wheel over for years & don't need a 2-leg stand; I just want something solid that fits well. Can...

    Misc. questions related to SIZE

    Considering a pair of Quests, but have not been able to find any model Cruzbike to ride--or even see in the flesh. Looks perfect on paper, but need help understanding: 1--My x-seam is 43" but my wife is 35 1/2" barefoot [she's 5'1"]. Is she likely to find it a good fit? 2--I know that the...
