I have an 80's Guerciotti. The frame doesn't have eyelets and I'd like to fasten a front and rear rack to it for carrying groceries, beer, etc...
It seems all I would need to replace the eyelets would be a washer welded to an eyelet that I could put on the axle and hold into place with the quick release.
Does anyone make such a thing? Are there other ways of putting eyelets on a frame that wasn't built with them?

Go to a hardware store and look for little 'P' shaped clips that will clamp around the seatstays of your frame. Either get some that are vinyl coated or cut up an old inner tube to protect the paint.

Use Audel or, as they're called in the bike business, P clamps. but you won't be happy with the results. I'm afraid your Guerciotti will make a very poor load carrier. Phil Brown
