I have a pattern stand on mine but repositioned the clamp when the the frame was stripped down. It sits under the exhaust downtube now so it's awkward to deploy, but it won't drag. I had a lot of problems with the tang on the c/stand dragging though and ended up doing a cut and shut job on that. To be fair the bike does seem to handle very nicely on 19" wheels with modern rubber fitted, so you are then restricted by the fixed footrests anyway.
