I did look at stay mounts, but it would have interfered with any rear rack I would have used.
Not a bad idea for the dropper will look into that, and these forks are the thorn ones, I just had eyelets added to the crown so I could use the surly 24 pack rack .
Real nice bike!
I wonder if you could get a mount to put the pump on one of the seat stays.
Also consider a bottle cage boss dropper, so you can lower the one on seat tube, to get a 1L bidon in there.
Love the colour.
Loved touring mine. Front loaded it handled so nice, I presume those forks give you the same geo as the thorn ones.
