Yep. Its all mine.

Jay, I refuse to get caught up in all that "weight weenie" stuff. Hostel Shoppe tells me that their Volae Kickstand Gizmo "might" work but I'd rather know for certain before I order one.

Welcome to the club. You're really going to like that bike. My Musashi is my bike for life.

The only Musashi owner I know that has a kickstand on his bike is Grady B. Called him and he told me he got his from Jack at RBM, Richardson. He said he thought it was a Cannondale product. It looks like this: http://www.cannondale.com/2012-eileen-2-kickstand-21898.

When you get the boom set for your X-seam check to be sure there are no crank strike issues. If there is any crank strike, you might want to install a 155 mm or shorter triple. Since I installed short cranks on my Musashi, I have not gone down on the bike. Used to be a regular occurrence.

I have one on my Musashi and I also got Jack to install it at RBM. Works well too.... Smiley
