I'm thinking about buying an old Marin steel frame with no braze-ons for a long-distance bikepacking trip. I'll be traveling relatively light, but most likely will still use a rear rack.
wow old thread. I've used common p-clamps from the hardware store but they make a more substantial unit specifically for bike racks. they use 2 screws, 1 to hold onto the bike stay & the other to hold the rack.



I remember seeing someone here with them. If I can remember who the person is I'll try to mention them so maybe they can chime in with a link. here we go see post#11
Mounting a rear rack w/o braze ons?

by @cyccommute

maybe he has a current photo?


here's a link to a product on amazon Tubus Clamp Set for Seat Stay Mounting 16 mm (#71616) but I guess there is a specific size, not sure how that would fit your bike stay
