The Bike with the most Braze Ons you've ever seen
I've seen some more modern forks which are intended for use on bike packing bikes featuring at least 6 braze ons for mounting racks or accessories; usually two pair in the fork blades and one pair in the fork crown. Some bikes have more braze ons than others. I would like to see some feedback from members on their experience (or knowledge of) with bikes which have a "ridiculous" amount of braze ons for mounting a plethora of what-have-you.

I have seen forks with anything cages front and back (6 per blade) plus low mount rack plus fender. I built a fork for my gravel bike that has anything cages on the back, a low mount, and a boss on the front for a randonneur style rack. Also put bosses on the top of the crown for the rando rack. I might add a boss under the steerer to hold a fender, haven't decided.

When nothing else exists either make or modify. I see that fork there Unter. It looks Swiss! I had thought about modding up with braze-ons a worthwhile old hard tail mountain bike which (preferably) required a paint job. I can't beleive so many manufacturers out there bothered to let their product out the door with braze-ons for just one bottle cage.
