Yes to both points. I remember waiting to board a ferry and seeing a couple of tourers casually unfold the small kickstand on the front rack - now that's serious business.
Cool bike anyway!
( @Hulsroy I haven't followed the brake lever story but if you're looking for single-speed levers I have a pair of TRP RRL SR you can have if you want. Gum hoods.)

Yeah. I am thinking about exactly that. I am just worried about the tube collapsing. I might design something that evens out the pressure.
I am going to London Green Cycles later to pick up a Omnium Kickstand

I reckon you could still drill a hole for the kickstand in the chain-monostay near the bb. Otherwise you could fit a chainstay-specific kickstand. I think there's also Tubus front rack-specific kickstands intended for tourers with lots of front load
