Very kind, this will hopefully be what I wanted the Walvale to be, and in almost exactly the same colours too!
Nitto M18 front rack now installed although the bracket that bolts through the brake hole needs modifying. Going to wait for the mudguards to arrive before modifying as hoping to secure guards to the rack for stability.
The bag is really wobbly so thinking a sheet of Perspex under the padded base with bolted brackets clamping the rack, maybe. Don't think a decaleur will work with the bag unfortunately.
I feel obliged to mention that your Walvale was a thing of beauty, and I have no doubt, this will be a classy ride as well.
