Lovely Paul. What can you tell us about the green Commando. What are they rollers under the frame?

Looks like some sort of load assist drop-down wheels that more and more aftermarketers are offering for us older riders; for parking lot use. Scoffers will scoff till they have hip and/or knee surgeries and can no longer ride.

I was informed that indeed it is a hydraulically operated center stand, designed and made by Jean Noël Gindrat himself as his handicap makes it very hard for him to pull the bike on a standard one.

No scoffing at all. Actually ingenious. Were all getting older
