Yeah, they were very popular through the 90s, mostly on the front of bikes as not many had AD lugs at the time.

They work well, no real problems   :)

One thing,  don't be tempted to fit it underneath the seatstays unless you secure the plate to the stays with jubilee clips or monster zip ties, there's a good chance it'll mangle the bridge on your frame if you don't..
