Is there are way to install the rack if your frame does not have eyelets / seat stays?

Not to my knowledge. I mean, yes you could in theory jerry-rig it but it wouldn't be safe, and the box is very specific about needing a frame w/ eyelets and seat stays.

Not that I'm aware of. I suppose anything is possible, but I wouldn't chance it with my kid in it.

There is not. I didn't check before purchase. I need to buy a bike with eyelets

There are little mounting plates already assembled on the rear of the rack; however, I don't remember seeing any included nails/screws, so you'll probably need to provide those yourself.

Look at your local hardware store (the big box stores would likely have what you need) for "p clamps", somewhere around the nut n bolt section. They wrap around your frame to securely hold a rack if you don't have the necessary bolts near the rear axle or seatpost. I got a pair for $1.50 just the other day.

There is a bolt at the bottom bracket that attaches to the very front of the fender. You might be able to zip tie it to the chain stays. If you don't secure it up front I think it will be too unstable. They are nice on my Surly commuter bike.

A women's or "step through" frame should fit but will hand at an angle with the rear wheel considerably lower than the front. Play around with the contact points between bike frame and rack to see if there is a better hanging method. Another solution is to buy what is known as a virtual top-tube, a add-on bar that acts as an extra frame piece allowing all frames to mount on a rack

I only bought one of these, but I don't think that you could because the rack frame corners are round. Also, when you have shoes on the rack, they stick up higher than the rack.

Not on your existing rack. It mounts onto a special rack that it's provided with the seat.

Yes you can, however the rack moves around a lot. It's safe, but if I were to buy another rack, it would be from 1up USA bike rack. I barrowed one, best rack I have ever used.

Not well, no. The seat is designed to slide onto this rack and the rack has a special hole in the middle that a thick-ish securing 'pin' fits through. I'd doubt other racks have this same construction, which seems crucial to the stability of the seat on the bike.

Hi Anthony, if you keep the existing backrest than all you should have to do is drill one new hole on both sides of the rack. The bolt holes are just a tad off. I put a luggage rack on the rack so I cut the rack leaving the threaded hole pieces as spacers. Works great and for the money, very solid. Thanks-Peter

My frame had threaded eyelets. There are matching eyelets at the end of the brackets. I had to bend the two extending brackets in a vise about 45 to match the angle of eyelets on the seat stay.

I don't think that you can install it without a bike rack, and I don't know if they make an adaptor for handle bars. It seems a little big for the front handlebars.

No place to attach to the bike. You might be able to purchase a bracket or Velcro it to the handle bars.

Yes... But, nothing that you can buy officially. I found 2 short (hockey stick looking) metal bars that were able to attach to the bike frame and the short arms from a local bike shop. I'd start by looking there and asking them

Some bikes also do not have mounting holes near the rear axle also. But to answer your question Amazon sells: Sunlite Bike Rack Monostay Adapter by Sunlite and Jandd Mono-Stay Rack Adaptor by Jandd

I have of mine tied with the attached straps to the rack on the back. The front can be tied to the frame under the seat. I do have turn signals so the rear is not a problem. Hope it works for you as it does for me.

yeah, ditch the seat post rack (or if you're inventive, fabricate some arms leading up from the rear dropouts and weld/connect them to your post rack -- argh, better just spend $25 on a real weight carrying rack.
