Kickstand fitting Fastroad?

Got a used Fastroad SLR 2018 and would really like to have a kickstand if possible, but it seems the frame doesn’t really have kickstand mount points? Does anyone perhaps have a suggestion/solution to that?

Used Giant Fastroad SLR1?

It’s the 2018 model, priced at $320. Is it worth it?

Edit to add: hydraulic disk breaks, Shimano Tiagra gears.

I think the Roubaix is objectively better but also most expensive, so looking for advice about the best value/fit for my use. I’m a casual rider, mostly on roads but I also want the bike to not fall apart on short stretches of light gravel/trail. I have 3 options:

  1. Giant Fastroad SLR 1 2018 with Tiagra and hydraulic disc breaks. ~380.

  2. Giant Fastroad Comax 1 2018 with 105 and hydrualic disc breaks. ~570.

  3. Specialized Roubaix 2018 with 105 and mechanical disc breaks. ~850.

I plan to fit 32-35mm tires (whichever fits) and for the Fastroads I might get a Redshift stem.

Any advice is appreciated :)
