Looking for no eyelet adapter for rack mount
Buddy wants to mount a Burley 'moose rack', for his daughter's Burley Piccolo on his wife's bike. The idea is that he will pull the trailer with the youngest one, while his wife gets the kid that can help propel.
Anyway, her frame does not have any rack mount eyelets in the rear. Short of having one made at a local machine shop, does anyone know where he can buy a mount adapter. Old Man Mountain racks have ones for their racks, but do not sell the adapters alone. I've attached an image from OMM's webpage:

It's a fine Italian road bike. Given the loads placed on the rack by the Piccolo, and the value of the cargo, I plan on making our version of the OMM adapter, if one cannot be bought somewhere. I agree on not using 'P' clamps.
