Talking of new frontiers, some Shimano STX cantis turned up. With the rack on the front looks like I'll need a longer straddle(?) cable but not a big deal.
You can use the frame itself as an anchor to bend the center strut. Just leave the canti posts un mounted, but the center done up tight and pull up. I’ve done it, worked well.
Also you can mount a fork mounted cable stop behind the rack to get a good straddle cable angle and decreased shutter.
