Or cantilever frames without caliper holes in crown and on rear stays, both which have many other functions than just brake mounts. This is why we visit Gugie in Portland!
Blackburn makes some great racks for cantilever frames without a drilled bridge/crown or rack braze-ons - you can attach the stays with the cantilever mounting bolts. I used one for a very small frame that would otherwise have required unreasonably long stays.
