It's going to be a road bike first and foremost, gravel bike second, touring bike distant third. As long as it can take the weight of my touring gear for one week out of the year why would I not want carbon?

And anyway, it's a £300 frame, it's not like I'm going to keep it for 20 years.

@jaap: Should have said "metal"

@frankenbike: The point is, all these forks are designed to hold mudguards, and that's it. You can use a rack in the rear, or bikepacking bags but why lowriders in a carbon fork?

I'd just like to have the option of a front rack, that's all. I'm taking them at their word that the fork can handle it. It's not the end of the world if I can't use a front rack.
