Title: Kickstand Options for a Mk2 Sherpa?
Post by: Binky on July 07, 2026, 10:25:08 AM

I'm about to purchase a secondhand Thorn, I believe it is a Mk2 Sherpa with derailleur gears. My wife will be using the bike as well as me for local/casual use and insists on a kickstand of some sort.

I know that Thorn's warranty won't apply as I'm not the original owner but I would still rather not attach anything that risks damaging the frame or paintwork.

What are my options for attaching a kickstand to this bike whilst doing as little damage as possible? We'd prefer something attached to the bike rather than a click-stand. Thanks

I use the Greenfield Stabilizer on my Raven. Holds up the bike with a full touring load, and attaches to the frame at a very strong point.
