you guys are all too much.....
the answer is rivnuts!!
dont even need to repaint the bike,
just remember to use steel rivnuts on steel frames, and alu rivnuts on alu frames.
I did my cardinalli in the basement- turned out great, only need an 7mm drill and a stainless m5 long bolt and nut.
I use stainless as it is harder.
I put some sealent on the hole before riveting it in, then wipe off the excess.
