The coupling member provides universal articulation between the mounting bracket and the boom tube. The mounting bracket includes a bracket body member having a chain stay-engaging portion and a coupling attachment portion extending from the chain stay-engaging portion, the coupling being attached to the attachment portion of the bracket body, a bracket claw member having a chain stay-engaging portion, the claw member being pivotally coupled adjacent one end of the chain stay-engaging portion thereof to the body member, and a releasable/adjustable fastener coupled between the chain stay-engaging portion of the bracket body member and the other end of the chain stay-engaging portion of the claw member for selectively connecting the chain stay-engaging portions of the body member and claw member to each other in clamped relation to the chain stay.
