As it happens, Rivendell will sell these kickstand plates to
interested inquirers. I am placing a call to Mark today. Many
thanks, Grant and crew!

These larger kickstand mounts are a very good idea! I'm surprised that
neither the producer or bike manufacturers don't insist on them or
offer some bolt on type as extras. Most modern bike frames don't have
the required tube thickness to cope with the forces of a loaded bike
pushing down on that
Yes, I should read more carefully.

I'm no frame builder, but...
If you're up to building a frame, it shouldn't be that hard to fab a
plate. You could use 4130, but I'd think low carbon steel would be
strong enough for a kickstand mount and would be cheaper and easier to
work with. The KS plate on my Kogswell P/R is 0.080

I had assumed he was building the frame -
not a lot listed out there, but a couple 'o leads, if that's the case:

Steve: I'm not aware of kickstand plates that are sold for
retrofitting to frames.
Seth: There are different kickstands on the market. Some are made to
work with a built-in kickstand plate, and others have the cross-piece.
You'll likely need a different bolt to use one without the cross-
piece.
