For someone that is looking to further future-proof, so to say, a vintage frame by having some rack bosses brazed on, are there standard measurements usually followed for the rear bosses? In the front, for instance, mid fork hourglass boss tend to be 165mm from dropout eyelet to mid-fork. My 2007 Atlantis has none on the front, and just the pair on the seat stays spaced ~395mm from eyelet to hourglass. Other bikes on my wall measure approximately the same. (FWIW, the frame going under the torch is a vintage Trek with almost no braze-ons- not the Atlantis.)
Looking at the new Atlantis and Appaloosa models there are as many as six on the rear, as well as, another pair on the back side of the fork. My thinking, If I'm buying a pack of ten bosses, is "Might as well use as many of them as I can". Was hoping someone might be able to shed some light (or an Appaloosa riders take a measurement) on the others there.
