We're making very similar projects, you and I.
I need to get the rack at some point, and went for a S2C rear wheel for a bit of added fun!
Your bike is prettier than mine though so I'm a teeny bit jealous.
I am especially jealous of the matching mudguards.
Oooh, going to go belt drive? Apparently the S2C can come with that too....would die of jealousy :) Mine will be perhaps slightly more pretty, but at least you will be able to stop!
I want to porteur up Lady Liz's hhsb fixte mixte with a front rack and mudguards. She's got a set of hammered honjos that I've failed to get round to fitting for the last 2 years. Waiting to get the front rack as well so the guard can be anchored to the rack.
She has a Gitane mixte beater as well which would make more sense to mess around with as it's already got guards and a rear rack, just needs a front rack and novelty chrome lamp. Wine box does appeal as well as opposed to massively overpriced hipster rack.
Someone (?saxby) had a front rack in silver going cheap when I posted a wanted ad a week or so ago....if you are looking :) Wine boxes are excellent as well because they are easy to make fixing holes in (nice soft wood)...can also be varnished/oiled if you want to make them last longer/not warp....
