Claim 19:
20. An adaptive billboard frame mount system for mounting to a plurality of fixedly positioned pre-existing poles, comprising:
a frame assembly comprising an upper strut and an opposed and parallel lower strut, wherein respective ends of the upper and lower struts are connected to respective opposed and parallel side struts to form a frame that positioned in a display plane that is positioned at a desired angle relative to vertical;
a plurality of mount assemblies, wherein the plurality of mount assemblies comprises a plurality of upper mount assemblies and a plurality of lower mount assemblies that are configured to be mounted to selected poles of the plurality of fixedly positioned pre-existing poles; wherein each mount assembly comprises:
a pole mount configured to be fixedly mounted to an exterior surface of a fixedly positioned pre-existing pole, comprising:
a base member defining a mounting aperture configured for receipt of a mounting bolt:
a first side member and an opposed second side member, wherein the first and second side members are positioned in a plane that is transverse to the base member, each side member having an upper portion extending outwardly away from an upper surface of the base member and a lower portion extending outwardly away from a lower surface of the base member, wherein the upper portion of each first and second side members defines a channel opening;

a channel member configured for receipt there through the respective channel openings of the respective first and second side members, each channel member comprising:
a top planar portion having longitudinally extending edges;
first and second planar legs connected to the longitudinally extending edges of the top planar portion, the first and second legs being positioned in parallel planes that are transverse to the top planar portion; and
first and second channel member flanges connected to respective longitudinally extending edges of the respective first and second legs, each channel member flange having an inwardly projecting portion;

an extension member comprising:
a planar body member extending along a body member longitudinal axis and having a first end and a second end,
a mounting flange mounted to an outer edge of the second end of the body member, the mounting flange positioned in a plane transverse to the body member, wherein the mounting flange of each mount assembly is coupled to the frame assembly.
