Vintage and classic bicycles without kick stands?
Question: why do so few vintage and classic bicycles have no side stand? is it considered by purists to be bad form to have one?

Kick stands are more associated with city/town bikes than road bikes, and road bikes is a lot of the c+v forum interest.
I've also heard vague things about companies not liking them anymore because of people damaging the frames by sitting on the bike with the kickstand down but that may be apocryphal.

i'd imagine some people do have an "image" related stigma to them. that's their problem, though
they can be a very practical convenience, but it's usually just as easy to prop the bike against something. without a necessity for one, avoiding the downside of damaging the paint (rust haven) and possibly the thin wall tubing is likely why many don't use them. it's why i don't. then there's the relative issue of extra weight you don't need, either
if i was doing some loaded touring, i'd seriously consider a double kick stand. out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to lean a laden bike against, it'd make it easier for accessing bags or making gear adjustments.
ps. if the frame has a kick stand plate, the damage issue is moot. but, many bikes do not have them

Welcome to the Bike Forums, EngarJack
In my mind, vintage kick stands are a gimmick and a bit of a dangerous one (for the bike).
They are not stable. I would much rather lean my bike against a wall or fence. Baring that, gently laying it on its side will also do the trick, safely and with no fear of tipping over.
Kick stands, side or center, clamp onto frames and do come loose (or so it seams) with use. We tighten them up. The stand comes loose again and gets snugged up again. The problem is not the stand loosening off. The repeated using, loosening and tightening actually crushes the chain stay tubes near the bottom bracket. I have seen such damage many many times. Such damage dramatically lowers the value of a vintage road bicycle. In fact, unless the bike is something truly special
To that add that the stand looks pooey stinko (my opinion and perhaps associated with the mentioned "purist" concern) and adds weight to what is supposed to be a light weight bicycle. All in all, not my idea of a great thing to bolt onto the tubes of a bicycle. Particularly if it is an steed with exotic thin wall tubing.

You’ve helped me and the 710! I’d have felt a loss if I’d realized that I’d inadvertently crushed the chain stay tubes on a classic old hand built American bike!

The only safe way that is stable is laying the bike on its side. But good luck doing that in a crowded city without people tripping/running over the frame and causing worse damage.
There are thin-walled bicycles that come with a kickstand plate. They are just exceedingly rare on American market models because bikes are seen more as a toy or just a leisure machine.
In my experience the ones mounted on a kickstand plate hardly come off. Center-mouned clamp-on models do go loose over time and indeed do risk damaging the frame. Rear triangle mounted ones are pretty alright but the bolt-on rear chainstay ones tend to work themselves loose over time since there is a shearing force working on the bolts.

leaning a bike can be more stable if one would carry a strap or rubber band and wrapping the front brake lever with it. a parking brake of sorts. rude.?...perhaps it depends on the environment. in the neighboring town of where i live, it's quite cycle friendly and it's commonplace to lean/park your bike so long as it's not impeding pedestrian activity. otoh, there are dedicated racks at many places of business rather nullifying any of these concerns discussed here.

Leading to images like this:
Translation: This is an entrance for the residents. Please park your bike in the rack around the corner. If not, it will be "moved".
That people can be very foolhardy about their parking space as can be seen in this "Do not park bicycles here" sign. Note that every single bicycle here has a kickstand and if they didn't, this would be an impossible clump or pile of bicycles.
Most places here want to stimulate bicycle use because if these were replaced with cars it would be an even worse problem. So they have started building a lot of underground bicycle parking garages.

There is another recent thread on this topic. Should not be hard to find.
+1 on holding the front brake on, with a bungee or line or strap. Just like the parking brake on a car.
Kick stands are OK under ideal conditions, which are few and far between 'out in the wild'. Good inside the garage where there are also numerous other good options that don't weigh anything.
Also consider the mechanical disadvantages to a kick stand. Unloaded, you have a machine that weighs 25# or so, most of it above the BB, maybe 3ft tall. Then you have a prop, 8" long at the BB, near the bottom of all that weight, trying to hold it all up. A mear zephyr of a wind will blow it over so the bike that was too fine to be gently laid down comes crashing down - onto a hard surface, if Murphy has his way. Well, I suppose that's good for the economy. Then if you have any luggage on the bike the calculus gets worse and the economic activity goes up.
I have 11 bikes and only 1 kickstand. That one is on Babe the Blue Oxen. Babe has a proper kickstand plate instead of a chain stay bridge, as did most Sears Free Spirits. And the only cargo Babe ever carries is road salt picked up in the line of duty. And as to weight, when touring on my Voyageur(40# of "essentials") I use a prop against the top tube, ala ClickStand. A kick stand in that application would not last a day.

Another option is,
The Upstand
These are very light, but do allow me to stop without leaning the road bike up against something.
For the MTB or Fatbikes I use,
Rear Mount Greenfield
These can be mounted without causing damage.

Or simply lean the bike resting the bars as one point and the saddle as another, and all is good.
Many bicycles that are built with a tighter geometry do not allow space for a clamp on kickstand. Many of the classic road bikes have a tighter racing geometry, and therefore or not suitable for kick stands.

There's only two kickstands I find acceptable. One is the Raleigh Sports model, which is designed to fit the bike, looks good, works well. The other is the Moulton F-frame. These early Moultons are, without a doubt, the most unbalanced bike on the planet which is a shame because they ride so well. Lean it against a wall carefully, turn your back and down it goes, all the time. Their stands are also ungainly, to say the least but it's the only option.

As others have pointed out, if you look for C&V city bicycles that were meant to have kickstands in the first place, you'll find a lot of them. I'd wager to say that, worldwide, there are many more C&V city bikes still in existence, probably with stands, than any other bike design of the past.
I'd also argue that - just like now - the past has had its share of good and bad stands. Trigg dual-leg stands, for instance, are extremely robust and functional - even though their plating and fit leaves a lot to be desired.
Likewise, the current Greenfield kickstands owe their design to the Pletscher Esge, which has been in production for years:
Wald here in the US offered some typically crude, stamped steel stands back in the day - but they worked:

I just toss them in the trash but save one in the parts bin just in case. Do you need one, let me know and I’ll send it.

Some of those items are challenging to install with good aesthetics and no rattling - fenders being the worst culprits. But once they are in position they should not be shifting. BTW, I need to try a top tube bag for carrying a lock, rather than an underseat bag. Front racks interacting with fenders can be hard to sort out, as well. And of course some great vintage roadies with tight clearances can be hard to fender. I have a set of brackets from River City Bikes in Portland to split a set of 35 mm Honjo fenders at the headset crown and seatstay, to accommodate 24 mm 700c tires. I haven't decided how to split the fenders, however.
But except for kickstands these are mostly constructive problems.

I'll echo the above sentiment. Nothing wrong with kickstands, as long as you have a proper mounting arrangement! The Greenfield/Pletscher is probably the lightest one you can get for a standard mount, and still weighs a good bit, but hey, if you make use of it, you can probably find another place to cut weight from.
I just brazed this onto a bike the other day. Had a kickstand on it before, with the bad mounting arrangement. It had tiny dents into the chainstays in spite of hockey tape we'd put down there to prevent it. The mounting plate saves weight because you don't need that top clamp piece or a long bolt to mount the stand. Plus, the stand can't twist, because it's confined by the bent edges of the plate.
