Clearly, the answer is not 42, it's "n + 1".

 I do appreciate the offer.

At about $25, the Tubus mounts are a lot less than
having braze-ons added ($100 for 2? Raw, no paint).
Think of bolt-on mounts as a temporary solution until
you can get mounts brazed-on. Paint it later or have
it blasted raw with a clear coat. There are always
