Also this from Sour bikes: https://sour.bike/shop/accessories/forks/sour-business-fork/ rated for 15kg weight on the rack. Not internal routing of the rear dynamo cable but has a nice 3d printed guide for the cable under the crown.

Actually very similar specs to what I have been looking for. Particularly the rear dynamo routing back through the steerer is not so common.
One option that does tick the boxes is this from 8bar: https://8bar-bikes.com/shop/gravel-carbon-disc-fork-for-light-fender/
It’s a shape/design that you see used by a lot of companies, so it must be from one of the big manufacturers in China/Taiwan.

The new Fairlight Cempa fork on the Secan 3.0 has a bonded in metal section for just this purpose. Also I’ve been doing some searching for Carbon forks lately and I believe the Seido MGV is made by Speeder whose ‘gravel adventure’ model is very similar shape and features and will cost you $120 USD. You’d have to check with them whether it is also rack capable though. I think Stinner and Standert both use forks from Speeder so they seem to be decent quality.

Anyone got a tool to remove the cups of a semi-internal headset from a 44mm head tube I could borrow in exchange for beers/treats?

I came to a similar conclusion when I made an order recently, only thing that made me decide for rims in the end was the hope that I can find the hubs I want 2nd hand.
I do have another full wheel built by LB though and the build quality has been great so that also speaks for getting full builds from them.

Hiking in Corsica is soo good huh! Which sections of the GR20 did you do?
We went a few years ago and did 5 days in the Center/South of the island and then hiked through the Agriates desert in the North. It was touch and go checking the fire maps every day to see if the trails were still open but amazing to have so many different landscapes in one trip.

Still haven’t got round to trimming the steerer or fitting a shorter axle BB but I think this picture adequately captures how this bike makes me feel.
I think it’s because on the one hand it feels very familiar and reminds me of many good memories from riding it over the years but at the same time there is also a sense of a newness after the makeover from @Hulsroy
I’ve been trying to get out for fewer longer, but slower, fall season rides over the last few weeks. Leaving the Garmin at home and exploring some of the bike paths outside of Berlin and there is some great riding once you break through the slog getting out of the city!

Maybe this is old news, but I think the handlebar end integrated Di2 charger from Purple Dog customs is pretty neat, charges your Di2 battery direct from Dynamo hub.
Cerakote also an option? There is a guy specialising in bikes doing it in Germany : https://www.b-schicht.de. They did the powder coating job on my Hulsroy x AWOL and I recently got a quote from them for Cerakote on another frame and cost was in line with wet paint.
Curious who is building the frame for you?
