t already exist, lower end Trek Madone frame for instance have hidden mount for mudguard.

'course, they stopped making the Madone and only have two model, the high end and the cheap alu, only the latter have hidden mount.

This is what concerns me, the thought of going into some hip custom framebuilder's workshop, plonking down a deposit, and saying "make me, uh, a sort of low-end Trek Madone"

Low end Trek Madone mean you're stick with 23mm tyres.

Ask them to build a frame around mudguard, not simply a provision, it'll look much better that way.

My Oak look perfect because it was designed for the GB mudguard, this way the brake bridge, chainstay clearance, etc. were carefully made to fit like a glove, yet it got a fag paper clearance between the guard and seat tube.
