The Pletscher kickstand is the best we've used, and among Swiss things, ranks up there with chocolate, army knives, and watches. The  idea that you can buy 9.2 ounces of Swiss metal for $20 in the 21st century is something we should all rejoice. It will support your bike better than a Victorinox will;  will last longer than the biggest bar of Toblerone; and it can take more abuse than a Blanc Pain watch.

The American kickstand maker, Greenfield, makes a nice kickstand, too. They ought to, since they borrowed the flip-up mechanism from Pletscher.

TIP: Tape or otherwise pad the part that'll contact the pedal and crank arm. You've got to go pretty high up on the 'stand. It's not a hassle, just another place to use bar tape, twine, and shellac. (Or do it some other easier way like knitting a cozy). It's not being weird, trying too hard to be classy, or anything like that. If you've got a decent crank, simply protect it from getting scratched and dinged by the kickstand...and that's how you do it. You cover it.
