I suggested one - they come up for sale regularly so you'd have to keep an eye out and you'd definitely have been able to buy one before now - that fits all your requirements but you just ignored me.
Another option would be to get a Bob Jackson Vigorelli and have them add the rack mounts and the correct fork crown. It's not OTP but it's close and you'd have the bike you want.

Flat crown fork.
The reason why they don't do "square" is because it's inferior.
Unicrown is lighter, stronger and easier to build.
-
Buy an old touring frame and build it up.
You can bide your time but don't want to respect/mixed part? That doesn't make sense.

You just said "yes, but".

Kind of amazed that nobody does...
They do.
This thread has given two that you can buy new as complete framesets. The San Sebastian and the Kilo WT.
There is also the TFG 2nd hand. As well as other options ranging from straight forward fork swaps to adding braze ons to any number of frames.

Yes, but most of the frames mentioned don't fit my requirements. I'm happy to patiently bide my time till I find one. I already have a bike and ride the crap out it. The Kilo WT and San Sebastian both come closest to what I'm after.
Kind of amazed that nobody does single-speed frames with full rack 'n' fender eyelets front and back on 'em! And a square fork god dammit! It's cool to have a thread documenting all these options anyway. Thanks for the help, gonna check out that ebay seller now.
