Old School Grand Master
As part of my ongoing mid life crisis, I have decided to attempt a UK end to end in my fortieth year. I have plenty of time to sort this out but being retro (and tight) I have decided to use my old Kili Flier Comp as the beast of burden. I propose to lose the Judy forks and refit the old Tange Big Forks and use a Flexstem. It's a pain as I now have the ahead style headset fitted but I'm sure I will be able to find an old XT headset when the time comes!
Would a frame builder be able to retro fit braze ons for the front racks onto that sort of fork? They already have a single eyelet on the dropout. Do touring bikes have two? I'm not bothered (look at me, I'm not bothered) about mudguards.
Any advice gratefully received!
