I've got a Rose Xeon road frame with chainstay mounted brakes (avoid! an excellent way to amplify BB sway and cause brake rub...) so have no seatstay bridge.
Am sure I could bodge something together, two zip ties did the job last winter, but just wondered if anyone knew of a neater looking aftermarket solution?
There's a few adapters specific to certain manufacturer's frames (Focus Paralane, Trek, GT Grade...) but these are too specific and wouldn't fit...

I'd use a couple of p-clips with a small aluminium plate between them.
If you have a round seat tube, one option may be to get a rear reflector bracket (designed for seat posts, will have an articulated nylon arm with a plate with two holes in it) and fit that to the seat tube, angle it to be tangential to the guard, and then drill the guard to bolt it to the bracket. If you can get a half decent bracket this can probably look quite tidy, and depending on the geometry of your frame it might not end up too far from the seat stays anyway. Also saves having to use the spider for the guards which can sometimes scratch frames or otherwise be a bit of a pain.
Nice! Will have a rummage for reflector brackets.
P-Clips were the fall back although due to funny shaped seatstays they ended up a bit splayed and the general effect was a bit messy. Would definitely have worked though.
