I dont think adding a mid fork braze on will affect stiffness ..
Just 'future-proofing' if I take it on anything other than a bike packing credit card tour.
Also 700c.

Not the stiffness, of course. just the overall concept that through me, but fair enough.
On another note, this thread needs more tumblr grade pictures. Still going with the pearl white paint?

if it can fit 700c, 650b is easier and lighter with additional braze on.
If i were you, I'd just get a Velo Orange randonneur front rack, give it to the framebuilder and they'll braze on the appropriate mount.
be wary, it will handle a little stiff if you load it up like you would a randonneur bag, but great with bag like these (Gilles Berthoud Sologne).

If there was/is surely it would be X amount away from crown? They cant guarantee what wheelsize you're using.
Also i thought i understood this build but now its confusing me, i thought you wanted something in a nice stiff steel and the reason for not going disc was that it compromised this feeling? And now you're putting a rack on it, does loading it up not have similar affects?
