The frame in question has rack attachment mounts for front and rear racks. It has fender mounts too.
So basically, it has the same mounts that 'cyclists of old' used.
Additionally, it has triple fork blade mounts for anything cages or various front rack sizes and styles.
That thing has a lot of mounts on it and I don't like the look, but much of what you see has nothing to do with bikepacking and everything to do with external brake hose routing.
