I agree that many of the old frames had double eyelets. What you neally need is the single rack eyelet on the back. After that you need to work out some way of attaching your fender to the rack or stays. I can remember when only the custom bikes came with all the braze-ons we now to for granted, pumps, bottles etc... all require bands to attach them to the bike, and we got by. Attaching a fender to with a metal band is fine, a rack is less desireable. Remember to blue locktite all the bolts. The front only really needs the one eyelet so you should be fine there.

What about the Nashbar touring frame? SHouldn't be any less perfect than an MTB, and it can sometimes be pulled in for 150.
