You can also use a longer bolt and attach the rack to the seatpost clamp.

Used this method on a M2 Stumpjumper that only had the dropout mount points.
Only difference was that had a removable seat clamp, but worked fine and in fact someone actually made a clamp with rack bosses built on it

... or use a three-point rack with the upper stay attached under the seatstay bridge. There's a threaded boss there.

One thing to watch out for with those fat "afterburner" stays is that some racks can foul on the at the dropout end. I couldn't use my Tubus rack on my old Pine Mountain, for example.

I won't be needing that on the frame. It's sat in my shed, 90% built up. Photos to follow when the brakes and chainset arrive.
