Demon Frameworks 953 fast touring bike

Ah I see now. I'm sure the rear eyelet will take a lightly loaded rack there.

FWIW, and I know it's too late now, I'd like to see a nice two-colour paint job like in the OP. Green and white's a good look.

The plan is still to stick to the original green/white scheme only with an translucent colour on the green. I've got a couple of days to think about it though as they won't start work until next week. I've had a doubt that the translucent green and the plain white might be overkill and make it too fussy. Tom is going to provide me with images of a couple of other options, but I've had 18 months to consider different options so I'm pretty set on the one I've put up in a previous post. The stays will be lacquered so there will be plenty of the workmanship "on show" so may yet stick with the non translucent plan. Hmmm...
